Dear Member

A little publicized bill that was signed into law earlier this year is now becoming a reality. In this month's eNews, we discuss the FirstNet initiative, which will help public and responders use the same space. We also review the SwitchplusIP LTE Pico-Cell Cellular Interface Unit, which sounds like a mouthful but fits into an airplane carry-on.

And lastly, be sure to check out the story of how NYC's 911 dispatch center was criticized for mistakes made during Superstorm Sandy.

		New communications capabilities for public safety By Doug Wyllie, FR1 Contributor SwitchplusIP LTE Pico-Cell Cellular Interface Unit may be cooler than the C-OTM unit, and that's saying a lot. From the outside, it's just a box, but when you look inside, things get interesting. "Fly-away kit"
