A Public Safety Spectrum Alliance (PSSA) filing this week reiterates its call for the FCC to award a nationwide license of 4.9 GHz spectrum to the FirstNet Authority, ignoring a recent coalition filing that asks the commission to approve rules that would let local jurisdictions largely determine how the airwaves are used.

Jeff Johnson, executive director of the Western Fire Chiefs Association and the author of the PSSA filing, said FirstNet Authority’s nationwide public-safety broadband network (NPSBN)—built by AT&T on the authority’s 700 MHz spectrum—has been successful in creating an ecosystem of devices and applications for public safety. This capability is something that the FCC has stated it is seeking in a band manager for the 50 MHz of 4.9 GHz spectrum.
