As the U.S. completes the initial buildout of its FirstNet system, other countries around the world are at various stages of their efforts to provide first responders with reliable LTE/5G connectivity. Some are actively building networks, some are preparing RFPs, and others are still in the conceptual phase.

Attendees will learn how multiple strategies are being pursued, with some countries opting for government-centric approaches, while others are trying to leverage public-private partnerships. In addition, some countries are dedicating spectrum to the cause, while others are prioritizing funding.
