Better Connectivity and Safety in National Parks: Broadband and Cellular Access.
This law mandates the assessment and planning for installing high-speed internet and cellular service in U.S. National Parks. The primary goal is to enhance public safety by ensuring better access to emergency services and improving communication for visitors and park staff. Infrastructure installation must be carefully planned to minimize impact on natural resources and the visitor experience.
Key points
An assessment must be completed within one year to identify specific locations in National Parks with the greatest need for cellular and broadband service.
Improving cellular coverage is crucial for increasing public access to emergency services and traveler information technologies while visiting the parks.
The plan requires installing high-speed broadband (at least 100/20 Mbps) in areas like lodging, campgrounds, and administrative facilities, prioritizing previously developed or disturbed sites.
