After watching first responder
communications systems fail on 9/11 and after Hurricane Katrina, with tragic
results, the vital importance of spectrum management for public safety
communications has taken center stage in recent years. Congress recently passed
legislation to reallocate 24 MHz of prime spectrum from TV to public safety in
2009, as part of Is it time to
consider fundamental reform in the way new public safety spectrum is
managed? In a new paper that
will be released at this forum, Jon M. Peha, Professor of Electrical Engineering
and Public Policy at At the forum, alternative proposals
for public safety spectrum reform will be debated. Michael Gottdenker, CEO of Access Spectrum, will describe an incremental approach to
reorganize newly-allocated public safety bands to promote efficient use of
spectrum. Morgan OBrien, CEO of Cyren Call and co-founder of Nextel, will
outline his controversial proposal to use 30 MHz of returned TV band spectrum to
build a shared commercial/public safety network. Other panelists, including
David Aylward, Director of the COMCARE Alliance, and Robert LeGrande of the
Spectrum Coalition for Public
Safety, will comment on these proposals and describe alternative
approaches to support wireless broadband data applications for first responders.
All of these approaches to reform will be contrasted with current plans for the
management and use of new public safety
spectrum. To RSVP, please
