Broadband Demonstration Network—Developing Tools to Measure and Assess In-Building Coverage Fact Sheet

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is partnering with the Department of Commerce Public Safety Communications Research Program (PSCR) to develop applications that can be used on a smart phone to assess broadband coverage in buildings to ensure they will work with existing networks first responders use. This work advances the research PSCR engineers performed over the last several years that simplifies and expands access to both in-building measurements and the quality of in-building coverage.
