FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr to Keynote Inaugural Wireless Tech and Policy Summit May 24

Apr 10, 2023
Event to be held May 24th, Washington DC focuses on In-Building Wireless Communication innovation and thought leadership

The Safer Buildings Coalition (SBC), the only association purpose-built to lead national policy and education for in-building wireless services, announced the inaugural Safer Buildings Coalition Wireless Tech & Policy Summit. Scheduled for May 24 at Washington, DC's National House Center, this one-day Convention and Expo brings together tech industry and policy leaders to discuss the opportunities and challenges found at the intersection of wireless policy and wireless technology.

The Wireless Tech & Policy Summit allows participants to delve into the topics that impact the present and future of wireless communication and public safety. The summit features keynotes from FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr and others to be announced.

Commissioner Carr has led the FCC’s work to modernize its infrastructure rules and accelerate the buildout of high-speed networks. His reforms cut billions of dollars in red tape, enabled the private sector to construct high-speed networks in communities across the country, and extended America’s global leadership in 5G. Commissioner Carr is also focused on expanding America’s skilled workforce—the tower climbers and construction crews needed to build next-gen networks. Additional keynote speakers will be announced soon.

In addition to remarks by Commissioner Carr and other keynote speakers, the day will include panel discussion on the following topics:

  • Broadband Infrastructure Funding: Major projects teed up and ready to go.
  • School Safety and Wireless Communications: Critical Comms making a difference.
  • User Equipment Evolution: Direct Mode, HPUE, Satellite to mobile, convergence, and more. 
  • How will we use 4.9GHz and 6GHz? Policy, innovation, in-building possibilities.
  • Wireless Location Accuracy: Are we ready for device-based location accuracy?
  • Managing Noise and Interference in PS Comms: Are public safety networks at risk?

The day includes opening, lunch, and closing networking receptions. Attendee registration information can be found at www.sbcfastlink.org/summit. Limited premium sponsorships and exhibitor opportunities remain. For sponsorship opportunities contact SBC at www.saferbuildings.org/contact-us.
