Massachusetts to launch broadband P3
The state of Massachusetts has launched a Request For Response (RFR) seeking proposals for its proposed buildout of the National Public Safety Broadband Network, including its proposed plan for building the radio access network (RAN) used to access the NPSBN in that state.
The state said in the request for response that potential vendors should state their capability to field a RAN that can be adopted by public safety users, meet Massachusetts’ coverage, security and capacity requirements and address concerns with regard to the statewide RAN’s financial sustainability.
Among other things, in the RFR Massachusetts seeks the services of a qualified vendor who can:
- Assure that the RAN meets Massachusetts’ needs for coverage, capacity, security, reliability, control, and grade of service.
- Secure the widest possible adoption of the RAN by Massachusetts public safety users.
- Ensure that the usage costs are consistent with the objective for wide adoption.
- Eliminate concerns regarding the financial sustainability of the Massachusetts RAN.
- Assure that the Massachusetts RAN is technically sustainable and scalable.
