The Police Chiefs Convention (IACP) starts tomorrow in Orlando, I will be attending for a few days and hope to see many of you on the show floor or in some of the sessions. My most recent article in Urgent Communications “Partnerships are More than Contracts for FirstNet” did not make it into the news recap yet but you can find it here: http://urgentcomm.com/blog/partnerships-are-much-more-contracts-important-distinction-firstnet. Likewise my recent commentary on the demise of WiAMX and wireless feeding frenzies can be found here: http://andrewseybold.com/3486-the-end-of-the-road-for-wimax
Light news week but lots going on in the back-rooms of the wireless providers and equipment vendors. In addition to Motorola’s new band 14 handheld which will be shown at IACP I expect there to be a lot of LTE devices and solutions on the show floor, should be a great show.
Have a Great Weekend, Andy
