Description of the PSST
The Public Safety Spectrum Trust Corporation (PSST) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) entity organized under the laws of the District of Columbia. The PSST has been selected by the FCC as the Public Safety Broadband Licensee (PSBL) for the 10 MHz of 700 MHz public safety nationwide broadband spectrum. The PSST’s mission is to provide an organizational structure through which decisions of national public safety leadership can guide the construction and operation of an interoperable nationwide public safety-grade wireless broadband network. It is envisioned that the network will be built and maintained by private commercial partners identified as the winner(s) of an FCC-conducted 700 MHz D Block auction, or if there is no auction and the D Block is assigned to the PSBL, commercial partners identified through a PSST-conducted Request For Proposal (RFP) process.
