This public-private partnership led by Motorola, Inc. aims to deploy a 700 MHz interoperable wireless public safety broadband network and a public access wireless broadband network in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Examples of advanced public safety applications to be enabled by the network include real-time mobile video for field officers; geolocation information about damage, dangers, hazardous materials, road conditions, and personnel and vehicle location; immediate Amber Alert file transfers; and virtual command centers to support emergency evacuations. The Bay Area Regional Interoperability Communications System (BayRICS) will manage quality-of-service, access, interoperability, policy, and system management issues for the public safety network.
