A new statewide public-safety system using North Carolina’s public television network is under development that could support public safety and emergency response agencies throughout the state.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) signed a project arrangement (PA) and joint statement of intent (JSoI) for collaborative research, development, and foreign technical exchanges in cybersecurity and public-safety solutions with the Republic of Korea’s Ministry of Science and Information Communication Technology (MSIT). This effort is part of a 2019 memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two countries in the fields of science and technology.

The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) launched the Public Safety Immersive Test Center in Boulder, Colorado, to spur the development and deployment of technologies critical to effective public-safety response.

AT&T launched nationwide location-based routing, which will allow it to automatically transmit wireless 9-1-1 calls to the appropriate 9-1-1 call centers nationwide.

From April 24 – 29, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) hosted JamX 22, an exercise to counter electronic jamming at White Sands Missile Range with federal, state, local and industry participants.
