DOI Field Communication Modernization – The 2023 request includes
$12.1 million for NPS as part of a coordinated $28.6 million
investment across BIA, NPS, FWS, USGS, and the Office of the Chief
Information Officer for field communication modernization. This
investment will enhance communications management in emergency
situations, land and resource management, scientific studies,
emergency management, wildland fire, and law enforcement mission
areas. Where agency policy permits, and technology aligns these
mission areas will have access to capabilities such as local control
over the network to assign users and create talk groups and determine
who can access or manage mobile devices and platform applications.
This investment will also deploy mobile broadband connectivity and
provide employees working in the field with voice, video, and data
capabilities for all missions. In many locations, the deployment of
these capabilities will enhance or replace a voice-only, mid-20th
century land mobile radio technology with technology that is cheaper
to operate and maintain.
