05/04/2008 UTC TELECOM 2008
05/21/2008 Webinar: Using Spread-Spectrum to Improve SCADA Communications
Spread-spectrum technology offers a solution that works more effectively in environments with interference and noise compared to conventional radio transmission techniques. It can also provide a higher data rate because of wider allowable bandwidths. As a result, it has developed into a major SCADA solution. While spread spectrum products do not require an FCC site license, products do have to meet FCC technology regulations. This session will explore ways in which entities are using spread spectrum today and planned uses for future growth.

10/27/2008 2008 Joint Use Conference
Joint Use is undergoing significant change in terms of the business, the technology and regulations that apply.  On the business front, there is increasing demand for attachments at a time when infrastructure is undergoing dramatic changes as new codes go into effect and systems continue to be built out and built up.  On the technology front, utilities are implementing new management systems to better track attachments, and they’re accommodating access for a dizzying array of wireless attachments and smart-grid equipment.   Last but not least, the FCC is considering fundamental changes to its regulations that could establish uniform regulated rates for broadband attachments, ILEC attachments, and wireless attachments, as well as impose a host of “best practices” for access for pole attachments.  With all these changes, you need to learn from experts and network with your peers to discover opportunities and overcome challenges that lie ahead.  Don’t miss this annual joint use conference!
