Broadband Deployment

The FCC’s recently released “National Broadband Plan: Connecting America” projects 150% growth in broadband deployment to reach underserved citizens in the future. A nationwide broadband wireless network, as described in the plan, holds great promise as an economic stimulus and for improving public safety. Mission Critical Partners (MCP) leverages expertise and consulting services to assist clients in maximizing the opportunities for implementation of broadband ecosystem networks that meet these critical needs. Two decades invested in life safety communications has equipped our team to navigate the complex broadband issues.

MCP improves public safety and homeland security through roadmaps for transitioning to Emergency Service Internet Protocol Networks (ESInet). The technology:

• Allows first responders to send and receive video and data
• Reduces costs through interagency collaboration
• Helps support opportunities to acquire additional funding required for operating expenses
• Promotes innovation in the development and deployment of Next Generation
  9-1-1 and emergency alert systems
• Promotes cyber security and critical infrastructure survivability to increase user confidence, trust and adoption of broadband communications.

As a foundation for a project’s success, MCP drives meaningful government and civic engagements with representatives in support of local efforts to deploy broadband technologies. We also help entities understand and follow policies and standards to maximize incentives for national priorities in health care, public education and economic opportunity.

To ensure value for the client’s investment, MCP collects and analyzes benchmarks and published market-by-market information on broadband pricing and competition. We then provide comprehensive reviews of wholesale competition rules, make recommendations that include innovative approaches to FCC changes, and ensure efficient collaborative allocation and use of government-owned and government-influenced assets.

MCP’s broadband services include a consultative, holistic approach to Next Generation (IP-centric) emergency service networks, features, and functions:

• Governance development
• Network gap analysis
• Network architecture design
• Request for Proposal (RFP) development
• Vendor implementation oversight
• Network operations framework development with an IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) emphasis
