Mark Landiak - Keynote Speaker at EDMSSA
EDMSSA announces Mark Landiak as the keynote speaker for Philadelphia EDMSSA spring meeting. The topic will focus on the following -
HOW CHANGING CUSTOMER NEEDS ARE CHANGING THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS
With all the changes to the traditional MSS model and the importance placed on certifications, it seems that the questions become:
- How do we leverage this expertise to create value with our customer base, and
- How do we best "position" this value with those who utilize our services?
At the same time, our customers needs are changing and we need to examine how we "should be" changing the way we do business. While getting "certified" to do the job we did 5-10 years ago is great, how do we translate this into $$$ and what about the skills necessary to meet customer requirements in the future?
This session will utilize comments, insights and scenarios from dealer customers to address the questions above and provide some guidance for adjusting our business model to address the needs of our customers in an increasingly complex digital world.
Dealers will walk away with a list of action items that can directly impact their business plan for 2008.
Enterprise Wireless 2008
Don't miss this opportunity! Listen to what a few exhibitors and attendees said about the 2007 event — "During the two-day show, we performed 14 system demonstrations, mostly to industrial end-users, two-way radio operators and MSS operators. The audience was extremely knowledgeable both in terms of technology and business issues." "…this year was so good I can't wait for next year!" "…a huge success from my point of view. I liked the response I got from the show and everyone did a great job in providing a great vendor showing for their products and services." "It was good to see such a wide variety of vendors and attendees" "Next year I will arrive a day earlier to attend more sessions." If you are a company deploying wireless technology to connect your employees, assets or equipment, Enterprise Wireless 2008 is the event for you. This is the only conference to focus on the enterprise side, the business and industrial users of wireless technologies and their unique requirements. Regulatory and technology sessions are combined with top-quality networking events and trade show floor time with leading vendors to make this a high-impact conference with excellent return on your investment.

700 MHz Auction – 214 Players Eligible
The FCC announced in a recent Public Notice that 214 applicants have been found to be qualified to bid in the upcoming auction of 700 MHz Band licenses. Bidding in Auction 73 is scheduled to begin on Thursday, January 24, 2008. One potential bidder we know will not be participating is Frontline, a prospective D-Block participant, who announced that they were “closed for business at this time."
Motorola Urges FCC to Change Rule Section 90.187
In a letter filed earlier this month, Motorola supported certain rule changes to Part 90 that have been proposed by the Land Mobile Communications Council (LMCC), specifically critical revisions to Sections 90.7 and 90.187. Motorola noted that a key aspect of the suggested rule changes are to ensure that existing systems using 12.5 kHz bandwidth channels are taken into account during the frequency coordination of systems that are migrating to 6.25 kHz channel bandwidths. The FCC was urged to make the proposed changes expeditiously.
LMCC Prepares Draft Narrowband Migration Public Notice
In one of its many decisions in the “Refarming” proceeding, the FCC noted that no later than December 31, 2009, that it would issue a Public Notice reminding licensees and frequency coordinators of the impending January 1, 2011, deadline for filing new 25 kHz applications and, the January 1, 2013, migration deadline for systems to be operating 12.5 kHz within the 150-512 MHz bands. The LMCC has prepared and submitted a draft of this proposed Public Notice for the FCC’s consideration. The LMCC draft not only confirmed the migration dates, but also suggested procedures that would ensure an up-to-date database that would reflect the bandwidth status of all licensees.
