AT&T: Catching Up with Verizon in N.Y. Village
It is a popular notion that AT&T is lagging behind Verizon in the next-generation wireless build out. However, AT&T is moving to squelch that notion. Most recently, it built a tower in the village of Hoosick Falls, N.Y., that fills a gap it had in the village and the upstate New York area. MORE |
PCIA Urges Tower Lighting, Marking Rules Changes
In April 2010, the FCC proposed changes to Part 17 of its lighting and marking rules for towers in order to facilitate enforcement and remove obsolete rules, while preventing towers from becoming a danger to aviation. In reply comments on the FCC's plan, PCIA, the Wireless Infrastructure Association, said reforming Part 17 would reduce barriers to infrastructure deployment, which would assist the FCC in its national broadband plan.

Cell Tower Dispute Breaks Out Between Neighboring Cities
Jurisdictions across the country enjoy having local control over cellular towers. And, for the most part, the laws work to allow local residents to hash out what they want their local cellular service to look like, or at least to have their say in the matter. Except for Menifee, Calif. MORE |
Ground Integrity Monitor
The ground integrity monitor from AEMC Instruments measures and monitors ground resistance, leakage current to ground, temperature and relative humidity and copper theft. Measurements are logged at user-specified time intervals and can be retrieved on-site through a USB or RS-232 port, or obtained remotely through an optional built-in modem, Web browser or RS485 port. Alarms can be programmed to warn the user that the ground resistance has reached a certain threshold (high or low). www.aemc.com
Site Monitoring
Davicom now supports standard digital video recorder (DVR) surveillance systems to extend the capabilities of its MAC site monitoring solutions. The DVR simply connects to the site's IP interface (router/switch) in parallel with the MAC. DVRs with video motion detection capability are then connected to one of the MAC's status inputs. If motion is detected, the MAC can send alarms by one of many means such as email, SMS, telephone, cell phone or FAX. The DVR can be programmed to allow the user to connect to the unit through the web and browse through the video recordings to identify who or what set off the motion alarm. www.davicom.com
Video Alarm System
To protect telecom sites, the Videofied alarm system detects intruders and immediately sends a video clip of the event to the tower operator for review and police dispatch while the individuals are still at the tower. The system sends alarms over the cellular network, which bypasses IP connections and computer firewalls. www.videofied.com |
