New Mexico Agrees with Interior to Share Towers for FirstNet

Mission Critical magazine reports New Mexico, one of five early builders with spectrum lease agreements with the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet), is leveraging the assets of federal agencies that operate in the state and partnering with another early builder for its core network services.  New Mexico has negotiated a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Department of Interior and will use the document as a foundation for an agreement with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The border security collaborative effort with CBP, in particular, will focus on the identification of illegal incursions and the integration of real-time sensor data to aid in interdiction and arrest.
