HISTORY AND AIMS
HISTORY In May 2000 ETSI and TIA signed in
Washington DC an agreement (originally known as
the Partnership Project Agreement (PPA)) to work
collaboratively by providing a forum in which the
key players can contribute actively to the
elaboration of MESA specifications. The current
partnership agreement for Project MESA was
ratified in January 2001 in the City of
Mesa,Arizona, in the form of a Public Safety
Partnership Project (PSPP), that represents the
first international initiative to involve users
and organizations from the Public Protection,
Disaster Response and Civil Defense sectors. The
PSPP was given the name Project MESA in
recognition of the city, where the partnership
agreement was finalized. Project MESA also
supports the ITU in its worldwide effort to
harmonize PPDR communications as documented in
ITU-R Report M.2033 AIMS MESA aims at producing
globally applicable technical specifications for
a digital mobile broadband system of systems,
aimed initially at the sectors of public safety
and disaster response allowing a coordination of
regional/international responses to emergencies,
disasters and monitoring day-by-day services.
MESA represents the first such international
initiative to involve users and organizations
from the Public Protection Disaster Relief
(PPDR) and Peacekeeping sectors to join forces
with Industry for the production of a truly
global standard. MESA NEEDS YOUR VIEW MESA needs
your views as potential users of advanced
broadband wireless applications in order to
develop the technologies that will ease your task.
