October 5, 2012?Vienna, VA?Televate LLC, a leading public safety communications and information technology consulting company, today announced that the North Central Region Broadband Data Coalition (NCRBDC), which includes the City and County of Denver and surrounding jurisdictions that comprise the Denver Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) and North Central Region, has contracted Televate to support its continuing public safety wireless data network requirements project. This program will continue to prepare the Denver metropolitan region for eventual implementation of the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) and potential grant programs associated with the NPSBN.
Televate recently completed phase one of the NCRBDC project to develop a broadband wireless data implementation strategy and formulate a governance structure to facilitate local network management and cost sharing. That program, sponsored by the Denver UASI, delivered detailed broadband wireless requirements and needs analysis, an inventory assessment, and a detailed Long Term Evolution (LTE) broadband Radio Access Network (RAN) design. A comprehensive, ?shovel ready?, LTE design was engineered for the Denver Metro pilot area, including the City and County of Denver and the City of Lakewood. A budgetary conceptual LTE network was also designed for the surrounding 10-county Colorado North Central Region. The NCRBDC broadband network includes a fiber optic and microwave backhaul design to interconnect the BTOP-funded Adams County public safety broadband LTE network with the overall regional network.
Collectively, the LTE network designs supported a comprehensive capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx) analysis required to substantiate the business case study. Televate also facilitated the implementation of a regional governance model to guide future LTE network implementation and operational requirements of the region.
With this additional award, Televate will continue to assist NCRBDC in its LTE public safety broadband activities, governance development, and technical support for NPSBN implementation in the North Central Region and throughout the state. Activities will continue to address all levels of government to determine stakeholder priorities, sustainability issues, governance, interoperability gaps and deployment support required for NPSBN implementation. A primary goal of this project is to better position the region, which includes more than 60% of the state?s population, to fully benefit from the Middle Class Tax legislation, and ultimately provide the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) with a sustainable business model that meets regional broadband requirements, and reflects the overall state objectives.
?The NCRBDC public safety broadband data initiative is highly aggressive, cooperative, and comprehensive. We believe it provides other major cities, UASI regions and metropolitan areas with invaluable insight and best practices for their own public safety broadband efforts in connection with FirstNet, NTIA, and their individual state,? said Rick Burke, Televate?s co-founder and managing partner. ?We appreciate the ongoing confidence and satisfaction that the City and County of Denver and NCRBDC leadership has in Televate to lead this follow-on work.?
