News: 220MHz system owners unite in ‘strength in numbers’ approach
The first meeting of the newly founded National SMR 220 MHz Managing Partners Association was held in Las Vegas in June. The association’s aim is to maintain a “strength in numbers” approach to attract the best management companies and equipment suppliers. Benefits in joining are the retention of one attorney, coordination and dissemination of activities and information, agreement negotiation from a position of strength on a group basis, cash reserve for legal battles, political clout when going to the FCC for any problems or complaints that might arise at sites and equipment purchases at reduced bulk rate prices.
More than 50 companies with SMR 220MHz sites were represented at the meeting, and several management companies were invited to give presentations of their services.
