Tell Me What You Think...
Together with EWA's new web site, we have launched "Crosby's Blog" which provides me the opportunity to informally comment on a greater variety of wireless activities, industry events and FCC initiatives. "My advisors" keep telling me to keep the content of the Blog short and sweet, so I will do my best with that well-intentioned advice. Of course, I will continue to write a commentary column when a specific topic just begs for a more thorough explanation. Members are encouraged to share their opinions with me in the Blog. Let's have some fun ... we could use it! ... |

NATIONAL BROADBAND CORNER |
Public Safety Asked for 700 MHz Comments
State public safety and 700 MHz Regional Planning Committees (RPCs) have been invited to comment on flexible use of the 700 MHz narrowband allocation and guard band for broadband services. Comments must address the current and future use of 700 MHz narrowband networks, how much of the narrowband allocation and guard band should be made available for broadband operations, and whether broadband use in this spectrum would potentially interfere with existing or future public safety narrowband operations.

Musician Strums Up a Wireless Mic Citation
A guitar playing couple in Lighthouse Point, Florida was cited for operating on 169.45 MHz without a license and interfering with a Federal Government communications system. Any further operation of their Shure T1G rig without a valid FCC license, they were told, would constitute a violation of federal laws and could subject them to monetary fines and seizure of equipment (perhaps not the guitar).

Teltronic Open House
To celebrate its new facility in Salisbury, Maryland, EWA member Teltronic Communications held a Customer Open House, during which EWA's Bill Sterner provided a presentation covering mandated narrowbanding requirements and associated EWA services. EWA attends many of these "Customer Days" at member locations and provides timely and useful information to attendees, including gatherings of public safety officials.
Contact Louise Hippolyte at 703.797.5106 if you have an event scheduled in the future and an EWA presentation would add value. |
