Commission seeks comment on the potential advancements in beacon technology that would allow beacon software to be installed on mobile devices remotely e.g., through a software update. If the Commission is found to have the authority to require entities to install the software on devices, then this approach could require related compliance requirements. Relatedly, the Commission seeks comment on how beacon technology could ensure that authorized users e.g., correctional officers are still able to use their devices. This requirement could impose recordkeeping and compliance requirements for entities such as wireless providers and mobile device manufacturers that must implement beacon technology via hardware and/or software changes to mobile devices for all users. We raise inquiries and seek information on the cost and implementation timing for beacon technology, specifically as compared to managed access systems MAS or

advanced detection, and who should bear these costs. In addition, we request information on the various types of costs for entities associated with this type of technology, including hardware, software, network integration, engineering, ongoing maintenance, etc., which is germane to our analysis of any regulatory next steps and could impact the nature and type of recordkeeping, reporting, and compliance obligations that may result in this proceeding.

deployments. We note that the commenters on the July 2020 Refresh Public Notification 85 FR 49999, August 17, 2020 largely agree that MAS
Evolved will be even more effective than existing MAS systems. In this SFNPRM, we seek further comment on steps the Commission could take to facilitate MAS deployments. Depending on the comments, it is possible that the

Commission could mandate roaming agreements between wireless carriers and solutions providers in the corrections context given the vital public safety concerns, which would impact small entities. It is also possible that the Commission could implement other approaches that could be developed by the wireless providers and/or the vendors to add features or services and help defray the cost of MAS deployments and operations.
Lastly, the Commission could revise the previously streamlined leasing rules in the correctional facility context to facilitate further Contraband Interdiction System CIS deployments nationwide. Each of these potential rule changes could require additional recordkeeping and reporting from entities that seek to deploy MAS
Evolved solutions.
