Ten years after 9/11, there is still a long list of standard networking capabilities that are unavailable to first responders. Police officers, firefighters and EMTs from different jurisdictions don’t have a standard, interoperable radio network. Most 9-1-1 call centers don’t automatically failover to backup locations in the case of physical disaster or excess call volumes. Emergency personnel can’t do what every smartphone user can do: send and receive text messages, pictures or video. The biggest holdup is a lack of funding for a nationwide broadband network for public safety.”]
