GAO: FCC Needs a More Clarified Role in Disaster Response
Tuesday, June 01, 2021 | Comments
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that while the FCC took actions to support telecommunications restoration following Hurricane Maria, future disaster recovery efforts could be improved by identifying a clearer role for the agency in disaster response.
During Hurricane Maria, the FCC collected network outage information, provided staff assistance to Puerto Rico, created the Hurricane Recovery Task Force to support communications restoration in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), and made funds for network restoration available.
“However, GAO found that FCC s disaster response role was unclear in guidance published by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), even though the guidance states that all levels of government should understand their respective roles,” GAO’s report said. “In particular, DHS did not define specific a ....

Several technology options exist for deploying IoT solutions focused on critical needs. These principally fall into two low-power wide area (LPWA) network classifications: licensed 4G and 5G cellular, and non-cellular LPWA.
The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has defined cellular LPWA network standards offering various IoT approaches. In the case of 4G, connectivity choices include narrownand IoT (NB-IoT) and LTE-M, while 5G promises New Radio IoT (NR-IoT). Commonly adopted technologies in the non-cellular category include Sigfox and LoRa. It is necessary for user organisations to assess key drivers and operational requirements before deciding on cellular or non-cellular networks. ....
