Management Alert: The NPSBN Band 14 Signal Strength Does Not Consistently Provide Adequate Band 14 Service for First Responders
| Date Issued | May 16, 2024 |
|---|---|
| Report Number | OIG-24-022-M |
| Report Type | Audits / Evaluations |
| Description |
This management alert reports that the signal strength FirstNet Authority measures for the NPSBN Band 14 coverage area is significantly less powerful than the signal strength the NPSBN contractor reports to FirstNet Authority regarding its commercial non-Band 14 coverage—an issue that poses a risk of overstating the coverage area and services the NPSBN provides. |
