Resources will provide funding to support the Department of Justice's law enforcement wireless communications, including efforts to make more efficient use of radio spectrum as required by 47 U.S.C. 903(d)(1). Wireless communications efforts are facilitated through implementation of the Integrated Wireless Network (IWN), a joint initiative with the Departments of Treasury and Homeland Security. The IWN will address communications shortcomings in key strategic locations, such as along the northern and southern land borders, and in cities or regions that are potential targets for terrorism. Requested resources will be allocated to: IWN operations and maintenance requirements; investment in new, more efficient infrastructure and subscriber equipment; promotion of communications interoperability by federal law enforcement and homeland security personnel; support of existing legacy land mobile radio systems; and management and operating requirements of the Joint Wireless Program Management Office.
