The FCC is considering requests from carriers to extend pole attachment rights to light poles. Read the article for more information on why. I am curious whether there is any connection to the article I posted the other day about Nokia pushing long distance mmWave for fixed wireless. Either way- it seems to me that in the post Chevron case landscape, that this may be an overstepping of the FCC's legislative authority and may have to be addressed by Congress first. Additionally, not all light poles are owned by utilities, so would non-utility light poles be subject to any such order? From a practical perspective, I also question why this topic is of such an interest to the carriers. In many cases, they chose to build their own poles to attach equipment to in the ROW rather than installing on existing poles immediately nearby. https://lnkd.in/gHFKu6H4

Nextivity is back on the road and in Illinois. Chicago represented today. Lots of in-depth discussion around how to fix cellular coverage for customers. A very impressive group of partners and potential partners. Groups like this energize me. #cellular #5g #lte #cbrs #education #schools #sales #salesenablement #retail

As we went through the ACP providers we found that there are only 3 primary wireless carriers in America -- which we will highlight in the next article. -- but based on Rewheel research, America's prices are super retail because we do not have enough competition--   == If the largest cable companies are in bed with the largest wireless companies, who are owned by the largest wireline companies, have decided to let the cable companies control the wired services while the wireline-phone companies, then, who did not upgrade their networks to compete for wireline fast broadband-- diverted the wireline budgets to wireless. And if the wholesale prices are controlled by these 3 companies, and 2 of them control their own territories and they were able to create a second ‘hidden’ wireless network using the state utility’s right of way, construction budgets and even change laws... #digitaldivide #ACP #FCC #Regulatorycapture #broadband, #ISP #wireless

It's devastating to see the damage caused by the California wildfires. T-Mobile is doing everything we can to help affected communities and first responders stay connected. Here are a few updates:  🔘 T-Mobile and Starlink opened up our T-Mobile Starlink Direct-to-Cellular service in impacted areas, delivering wireless emergency alerts, SMS, and enabling 911 texting, even without commercial power.  🔘 We’ve restored over half of the sites affected by power loss and are working to support the rest with portable generators.  🔘 We are collaborating with federal, state, and local officials to ensure critical connectivity, including deploying Wi-Fi routers at key locations.  Additional details on community support can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gnpXud6B

Did you know 1 dB of uncertainty can cause a satellite provider millions of dollars? A poorly calibrated power sensor can contribute 1dB of added uncertainty and can mean the difference between receiving a signal or not – becoming quite costly in prime-time applications from commercial and subscriber losses. Whatever your application, find out how to reduce measurement risk: https://gag.gl/QWB7zy? #calibration #KeysightCare

As the debate over spectrum policy continues, the incumbent mobile industry continues to malign and inhibit the growth of technologies and spectrum uses that promote competition, innovation, wireless access, and consumer savings. A further new line of attack argues that spectrum design decisions should be based on which industry has spent the most money on wireless infrastructure and auctioned spectrum. https://lnkd.in/duKwbZhh
