FirstNet Authority’s Broadband Integration Guide, Collaboration with Indian Gaming Association

The First Responder Network Authority has made it a priority to bring broadband to all first responders — local, state, federal and tribal — in rural and urban areas. Its nation-to-nation relationships with tribes help determine how FirstNet can best serve communities across Indian Country. The FirstNet team continues to develop resources and collaborate with key voices in the tribal community to bring broadband to those communities. To help tribal first responders integrate broadband, the FirstNet Authority developed the "Preparing for Public Safety Broadband: Considerations for Tribal Public Safety Planning" guide. The guide is a "go-to" resource for tribal agencies interested in adopting broadband-based technologies. It covers important topics related to broadband implementation, such as operations, technology, policies, and acquisition. Addressing these areas early on can make broadband adoption more successful. The guide is available upon request to the FirstNet Authority Tribal Team
