How Emergency Broadcast Systems Stay Online When Everything Else Fails Since 1963, many Americans grew up with a television or radio broadcast being interrupted every week by the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) or the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The same could be said for Canadians who have had their Alert Ready system since 2015, as
Missed Tornado Warnings in Florida: How Proper Disaster Communication Systems Could Have Saved Lives When disaster strikes, communication can mean the difference between life and death. On October 9, 2024, Hurricane Milton barreled through Florida, spawning nearly 20 tornadoes that left communities scrambling. Many residents reported they never received alerts, despite the National Weather Service
Cybersecurity in RF Software Systems RF systems power wireless communication across Bluetooth, cellular networks, and IoT devices. These systems are fast, reliable, and essential to modern life, but they are also vulnerable. Attackers target weak points in RF software. This can lead to data breaches and unauthorized access. As networks grow, organizations need realistic cybersecurity
Predicting and Managing Network Traffic with Machine Learning in Telecom With 94.6% of Americans accessing just the internet daily, telecom companies and service providers have to manage more complex systems. The advent of 5G and the growing number of connected devices necessitate more advanced tools for handling network traffic, optimizing resources, and enhancing reliability. To
How RF Technology Will Enable 6G As the world of telecommunications sets its sights on the deployment of 6G, the demands placed on RF technology are ballooning exponentially. 6G promises unprecedented data rates, lower latency, and significantly enhanced connectivity. Wireless infrastructures will be central to its success. The goals for Terabit-per-second (Tbps) communication by 2030
RF Communication Hardware and Services for First Responders First responders are the backbone of any emergency response. In order to do their jobs, they–police, fire, and medical personnel–rely on resilient communications hardware like radio frequency (RF) communication systems like Land Mobile Radios (LMRs). These systems ensure that first responders can operate efficiently, regardless of the
Comprehensive Guide to Selecting 5G DAS Antennas for Public Safety With the rollout of 5G and the advancing wireless technology, public safety communications infrastructure is a necessity. To achieve reliable coverage, especially in times of emergencies, Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) play a crucial role. A DAS is a network of antennas that distribute radio and
AI and RF Engineering: What’s Next for TX RX Systems? Artificial intelligence (AI) is leading the charge in transforming traditional RF engineering practices while ushering in a new age for industries across the globe. The integration of AI is no longer just a possibility. It’s a necessity. Understanding the implications of AI in RF engineering
Portable Radio Towers for Emergency Communication During Disasters In the chaos of natural disasters, every second counts. Our ability to communicate effectively can determine if we survive or not. When we are facing events like hurricanes, earthquakes, or wildfires our existing communications networks are typically the first to fail. This can be due to a
Power Tower Falls Over in Houston Area Due to Storms: Preparation and Recovery Heavy winds and rain from recent storms sweeping through Houston caused devastating damage to the area. Among the many disastrous events, a power tower collapsed and left thousands without electricity. This highlighted the need for robust infrastructure and effective disaster response systems.
Spectrum Monitoring Setup: SAM–NAM Calibration Calibrating a SAM or NAM sweep is the only way to tie measurement to reality.
How Tower Maintenance Data Feeds into Predictive Network Analytics Every predictive model is only as accurate as the data it’s
How BDAs, DAS, and Portable Towers Enable First Responders First responders don’t operate in perfect conditions when they’re working in
