Shulman Rogers: Alan Tilles outlines post-rebanding 800 MHz interference issues, public-safety options

Alan Tilles, a partner in the law firm of Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker, discusses new interference issues that 800 MHz public-safety LMR systems are receiving from cellular carriers even after rebanding is completed in a geographic area. In many cases, rules associated with the FCC’s original rebanding order can be used to help rectify the problems, Tilles says in this conversation with IWCE’s Urgent Communications Editor Donny Jackson.

PDV’s 900 MHz LMR-to-broadband proposal could be crossroads for critical-infrastructure comms

Utilities and critical-infrastructure entities should embrace the notion of the Pacific DataVision (PDV) offering to provide broadband services to such users, if technical issues are addressed and the prioritization commitments are made. At this junction, these critical-infrastructure groups need as many broadband options as possible.

Ten years later, 800 MHz rebanding proves to be an enlightening exercise

It has taken much longer than originally expected, but 800 MHz rebanding is almost complete in most of the United States 10 years after the FCC established a plan for the spectral reconfiguration of the band. Was it worth the effort?

Ideas needed to fix post-rebanding interference

The increasingly divergent pieces of spectrum that need to be accessed in a single device make device design all the more complicated. At the same time, the multitude of potentially interfering devices and systems has increased. Thus–even after 800 MHz rebanding–the potential for interference in a device has never been greater.
