The purpose of this meeting is to continue developing a statewide (Kansas) plan to meet the needs of the 700 MHz spectrum users including Public Safety, Public Health, Emergency Management and Utility services. All eligible public safety providers whose sole purpose or principal purpose is to protect the safety of life, health, or property in Region 16 would utilize these frequencies. It is essential that not only public safety, but all government, Native American Tribal, and non- governmental organizations eligible under Section 90.523 of the Commission’s Rules be represented in order to ensure that each agency’s future spectrum needs are considered in the allocation process. Administrators who are not conversant with telecommunications technology should ensure that their respective agencies are represented by suitably conversant staff. All interested parties wishing to participate in the planning for the use of public safety spectrum in the 700 MHz band within Region 16 are encouraged to attend. For further information about the meeting, please contact the Region 16 Chair listed below.
