Nextgov: A public-private partnership aiming to build a nationwide broadband network for first responders is under way, but lawmakers are still concerned about the network’s future cybersecurity and reliability.
The network is designed to allow law enforcement, emergency medical teams and other disaster response groups to communicate more reliably with each other than they currently can on existing networks. Ideally, first responders across the nation could share images, videos and other updates about disasters in real time using commercially available devices like smartphones, according to the First Responder Network Authority, or FirstNet.
