FCC Announces Workshop on Technology Transitions & Public Safety

The Federal Communications Commission’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau announces a workshop on "Public Safety Imperatives for All-IP Networks." The 1 ½ day workshop will be held on Thursday, April 17, 2014, and Friday, April 18, 2014. The workshop will be comprised of four sessions that will focus on current public safety, emergency response, and national security dependencies on legacy switched telecommunications infrastructure and challenges in four categories: (1) day-to-day public safety operations in an all-IP world; (2) disaster preparation and responses in an all-IP world; (3) additional risk factors from cyber exploits on commercial, public and government networks; and (4) the impact of technology transitions on national security and federal government systems.

The workshop will be free and open to the public. Individuals interested in attending this event must pre-register online at http://transition.fcc.gov/pshs/event-registration.html. Also, the event will be shown live at www.fcc.gov/live for those who cannot attend in person.
