What is Public Safety Region 6?
|
|
|
During the late 1980s
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) developed a National Plan
for Public Safety Radio Services, setting national guidelines for use
of the 821-824/866-869 MHz (800 MHz) spectrum while establishing
fifty-five regional planning committees to develop public safety
regional plans tailored to the particular communications needs of the
area.
Region 6 encompasses
the 48 counties of California situated north of the northernmost
borders of San Luis Obispo, Kern and San Bernardino counties.
The 800 MHz Northern
California (Region 6) Plan was adopted by the FCC on November 20, 1990.
The 800 MHz Plan was last revised on October 10, 2001.
In 1998, the FCC
adopted service rules for the 24 megahertz of spectrum in the
764-776/794-806 MHz frequency bands (collectively, the 700 MHz band).
At the direction of Congress, this spectrum was reallocated from
television broadcast services to public safety communications services.
It will be available as soon as existing TV stations vacate the
spectrum, which is targeted for no later than December 31, 2006.
A large portion of the
700 MHz public safety spectrum (12.5 MHz), is designated for general
use by local, regional and state users. A regional planning process was
adopted to govern management of this public safety spectrum. It is a
similar process to that used in the 821-824 MHz and 866-869 MHz bands.
The Regional Planning Committees (RPCs) are allowed maximum flexibility
to meet state and local needs, encourage innovative use of the
spectrum, and accommodate new and as yet unanticipated developments in
technology equipment. They are responsible for creating and managing
regional plans.
