In honor of another great Fourth of July, we want to spotlight one of the oldest and most important regulations in the last century that helps ensure the federal government doesn’t put its own products on the backburner in favor of global suppliers. What is the Buy American Act? The Buy American Act (BAA), which […]
Life safety system providers are increasingly expanding their offerings to include emergency responder communication enhancement systems (ERCES). It’s no surprise considering public safety communication is a thriving market and also a natural extension to life safety providers’ own in-building offerings of fire alarms and other required building safety elements. However, in order to conduct radio system […]
While last year’s IWCE was the first dip in post-COVID waters for in-person events, this year’s International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE) Conference in Las Vegas was more a true return to form for the conference. There were more sessions, more companies, and ultimately more wireless innovation showcased. Thanks to all the customers and partners that […]
Noise is an unavoidable disturbance in our personal lives, and it’s no less true in wireless networking. In public safety communication, noise interference is an often understated problem that isn’t a tangible issue for authority having jurisdictions (AHJ) until it becomes a major one.

After what seemed like a never-ending hiatus, we were happy to experience the wireless events scene coming back. With fewer people this year due to safety precautions and some travel restrictions, we had […]
The pandemic significantly influenced people’s perception and preferences on their work environment. A December 2020 survey found 71 percent of employees were predominantly working from home, and over half wanted to remain that way post-pandemic. As cities begin rebounding from initial pandemic fallout, businesses that transitioned to a WFH model during the pandemic must decide […]
In our last blog about VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) public safety bands, we discussed the differences between each band and how they help first responders communicate via land mobile radios in their respective jurisdictions. However, it is also important to consider the best features for an in-building UHF and VHF […]
Across the US, rural communities aren’t afforded the same luxury of wireless accessibility as urban cities. In fact, at least 45 million people do not have broadband access at all.
