In September 2025 the FCC issued Public Notice for changing rules on using signal boosters and how they will be coordinated/authorized for use on public safety radio networks and other part 90 LMR PTT radio networks. In this session both part 90 LMR PTT licensees, system operators and integrators will hear a manufacturer's perspective on how we will proceed in delivering product for last mile and in-building coverage challenges.

Takeaway

Attendees will gain an understanding of what has changed in the FCC rules as it pertains to the use of signal boosters on LMR PTT radio networks needing In-building and last mile signal enhancements using signal boosters (BDAs)

This will be a manufacturer's perspective on the best ways for users to deploy product under the new rule set.
