Collaborating on Public Safety Broadband

Chief Technology Officer Chopra recently hosted a roundtable in Los Angeles to discuss opportunities for innovation in our proposed nationwide interoperable wireless public safety broadband network, an important component of the President’s Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative. The roundtable fostered a lively dialogue among some of the top academic, public safety, and communications industry leaders. Together they surfaced opportunities in areas where innovation might deliver greater value at lower cost such as network sharing, network (and security) operations centers, and wireless applications. Topics ranged from new approaches to network and infrastructure sharing, cloud computing, and operations management.
