U.S. and Mexico Agree on Cross-Border Communications Network
WASHINGTON.: U.S. and Mexican officials have hammered out the basis for a cross-border communications network. The protocol was outlined and signed earlier this month for carving out the radio frequency, identifying available infrastructure and building out where necessary. A figure of $7 million has been attached to the build-out.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the Department of Homeland Security are in charge on the U.S. side; the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation and the Secretariat of Public Security are Mexico’s designated agencies. The Federal Communications Commission and the State Department will participate as well on a developmental working group.
The working group is charged with inviting all necessary parties to the table, and coming up with a plan to install, operate and maintain the network. Existing, fixed terrestrial links will have to be identified; federal, state and local agencies invited to participate; and experts consulted. The NTIA and Mexico’s SCT will also have to work out a spectrum plan for the network to prevent interference to it and to existing assignments. – Televisionbroadcast
