FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Courtney McCarron 202.833.9600 mccarronc@apco911.org FCC Adopts Solution to Interference Problems Based by 800 MHz Public Safety Radio Systems
It is with great pleasure that I inform you of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) decision to support public safety by adopting a solution to the interference problem faced by 800 MHz Public Safety Radio Systems. On behalf of the Board of Officers of this association and our allies in this battle, I would like to commend the FCC for their decision to do what we believe is the best solution for public safety to eliminate interference in the 800 MHz band.
It is with much pride that I acknowledge the hard work of APCO International, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the National Sheriff’s Association (NSA), the Major Cities Chief’s Association (MCC), the Major Counties Sheriff’s Association (MCSA), and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), and the support of all of their members.
APCO International will now turn its focus to helping its members understand the Plan. Next month at the APCO International 70th Annual Conference and Exposition in Montreal, we will be conducting a SuperSession on the 800 MHz Interference Issue. This educational program will help you understand all of the components of the Plan and how they affect you and your agency. In addition, we will have an 800 MHz Resource Room to ensure that all of your individual questions and concerns are addressed. Various subject matter experts will be on hand to discuss the issue, the solution, and its implementation. For more information on the 800 MHz interference problem and the Consensus Plan visit www.apcointl.org/frequency/project_39/.
Again, I applaud the FCC for their continuing support of public safety and their immense effort on this issue. This is the first step towards a solution and we pledge to continue to move ahead on this and other issues that will benefit the public’s safety.
Sincerely, Vincent R. Stile President, APCO International Director, Suffolk County (NY) Police Communications |
