Can PSIC funds be used to purchase equipment operating in frequency bands other than 700 MHz?
Yes, however, PSIC funds are intended for the acquisition of equipment in the 700 MHz spectrum or interoperability solutions (such as gateways or IP-based networks) that enable interoperability between 700 MHz systems and those agencies operating in other bands. Accordingly, PSIC funds will be available for equipment and technology in other frequency bands as long as the Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan and Investment Justification outlines how the solution is capable of achieving interoperability with the 700 MHz band now or in the future.
