- Public Safety Wireless Communication
The FCC has established rules for the upcoming 700 MHz auction to establish an interoperable national wireless broadband network which public safety will share with a private partner. Several questions remain about how the proposed model will actually work in practice, and Brian Josef, Director, Regulatory Affairs, for CTIA-The Wireless Association®, moderated a panel at CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment 2007® on the public safety-private partnership. - Hurricane Katrina Wireless Service Restoration Video
Hurricane Katrina is the most devastating storm on record in the United States, leaving thousands of Gulf Coast residents homeless. The wireless industry responded to the destruction in unprecedented fashion, working tirelessly to restore service in the region while also providing much-needed assistance for customers and employees stricken by the hurricane.
When disasters strike, Americans increasingly look to their wireless device as a lifeline to reach out for help and an indispensable communication tool to reconnect with friends and family. For this reason, the quick recovery and restoration of wireless services in affected areas should be a priority.
