Video applications are projected as a stressing and significant service of the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network. There is an need to empirically experiment and evaluate services across the actual network, rather than purely theoretical or simulation-based assessments. Our contribution to addressing this need, is being one of the first to demonstrate, using open source technology, how to conduct video experiments at the FirstNet Innovation and Test Lab. We transmitted video from the dataset across public safety and commercial broadband networks and under different network conditions. We demonstrated that data preemption and priority were dependent upon a variety of factors.
