 LBA Group CEO Lawrence Behr’s persistence in promoting colocation of AM towers and wireless antennas as a means to speeding public access to broadband earned him another invitation to Washington. The executive, along with LBA vice president for sales Mike Britner, traveled to D.C. Dec. 12 to meet with Commission staffers and representatives of radio [...]  It is not health scare talk to say that personnel working around wireless antenna sites need to be RF alert. That is common sense, and OSHA dictates it. Now LBA brings the wireless industry a new personal safety monitor at a great price. LBA Technology is exclusively offering wireless tower and site workers the fieldSENSE [...]  Recently, the FCC has levied fines totaling almost $40,000 on operators for infractions of FCC rules on RF safety, tower lighting, and site access. This may represent a new aggressiveness on the part of the FCC. In any event, it is a wakeup call to all tower and site operators to be vigilant in FCC [...]  Most engineers and operators in the wireless industry think of radio frequency (RF) safety as an exposure issue and often forget RF shock and burn that can be a concern for tower climbers and construction workers. Occupational safety and health are of prime importance in the workplace especially towers and structures that may be energized [...]  The collocation of broadband facilities’ on AM broadcast towers has been recognized by the Federal Communications Commission as one way to expedite the provision of new broadband services. See a video of the FCC Broadband Acceleration Panel with LBA CEO Lawrence Behr. LBA is the leader in providing AM colocation technology to broadcasters and wireless [...]  The Federal Communications Commission held its Broadband Acceleration Conference in Washington, D.C. on February 9th, 2011. The FCC thus took another step to further the goal of connecting all parts of America to the digital age by convening leaders from federal, state and local governments, broadband providers, telecommunications carriers, tower companies, equipment suppliers, and utility [...]  As wireless systems proliferate, the number one adversary of systems designers and service providers is interference. Interference hampers coverage and capacity, and limits the effectiveness of both new and existing systems. Interference is an inescapable fact when wireless communications systems must coexist in extremely complex environments. What is it about cellular towers that make people [...]  You have heard the old saying “splitting hairs” referring to arguing about very small differences or unimportant details. There is splitting hairs and then there is splitting cells – cell splitting to be exact and it is occurring all over the world as wireless service providers attempt to add ubiquitous coverage and more traffic capacity. [...]  It took five years and $750 million, but Sprint Nextel has successfully bumped the broadcast auxiliary services (BAS) of more than 1,000 TV stations out of the 2GHz band coveted by Sprint. The wireless company now will take over that part of the spectrum with the blessing of the Federal Communications Commission. Everyone involved seems [...]  The explosion of interest in providing broadband connections throughout the US was evident at the FCC National Broadband Plan & WCAI Summer Summit. The Herndon, Virginia event was sponsored by the Wireless Communications Association International (WCAI), the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC), National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC), and DBC. LBA Group CEO Lawrence Behr was [...]  Lawrence Behr, a prominent telecommunications industry executive, will be a featured speaker this month at the “Summer Summit” of Wireless Communications Association International. Other summit speakers include R. Gerard Salemme, the executive vice president of Clearwire, and Bill Payne, vice president and chief technology officer of Motorola Networks. Behr is founder and chief executive officer of LBA Group Inc. The company offers engineering consultant services and hardware fabrication and distribution worldwide to wireless and communications industry [...] Jun 23, 2010 – Lawrence Behr, a prominent telecommunications industry executive, will be a featured speaker this month at the “Summer Summit” of Wireless Communications Association International. Other summit speakers include R. Gerard Salemme, the executive vice president of Clearwire, and Bill Payne, vice president and chief technology officer of Motorola Networks. Behr is founder [...]  Like a re-radiating RF signal, positive feedback about a Lawrence Behr Associates engineering job keeps bouncing around cyberspace. Components of LBA Group helped clear the way for an electric power distribution project in New York state, a job that finally wrapped up earlier this year after more than two years of work. The project required [...]  In 2009, LBA Group Inc. faced the same economic challenge as every other company. It met the challenge by resourcefully building customer value. LBA Group Founder Lawrence Behr talks about the synergism of businesses interacting during stressful times. BSD: What do you mean when you say the LBA Group of companies is ‘resourceful’? LB: Essentially [...]  Many AM detuning systems are in a sad state of repair. This not only violates the FCC rules, but jeopardizes the AM station functioning, and can even lead to civil liability! [...]  Lawrence Behr Associates cleared the path for a new electricity transmission line in New York that that could not be energized until interference problems with a Rensselaer, N.Y., AM radio station were resolved to the satisfaction of the New York Public Utility Commission. After extensive onsite and computer analyzes, LBA engineers determined that 8 of [...]  Can wireless carriers and AM radio station towers partner? You betcha! There is a proven collocation engineering system that successfully weds wireless antennas and AM towers. In this blog, Lawrence Behr, founder and chief executive officer of LBA Group Inc., explains how it’s done. Historically, the wireless industry has been warned to steer clear of [...]  Geographically isolated and local community analog TV watchers soon can see their favorite shows in high-definition television. The Federal Communications Commission has issued a public notice on how low power television stations can go digital, beginning in rural areas not served by full-power stations. Though most of the American viewing public switched to DTV in [...]  The FCC has released two free map books showing in detail the impact of the digital conversion on every US TV station. Most stations come out winners, with 89% gaining net coverage, and 11% losing. Stations losing coverage area can regain it using several methods, according to the FCC. Options include changing channels or antenna [...] On August 15, 2007 the FCC issued an NRPM to explore the use of FM translators by AM stations. Among the issues to be examined is program origination at night over FM translators by daytime-only AM stations. The proposed rulemaking comes about as a result of a petition by the National Association of [...]  FCC Docket MM93-177 sets out to adjust FCC rules regarding the adjustment and measurement of AM directional antenna arrays. It also seeks to modify the manner in which the reradiation impact of nearby structures is considered. Today, all towers within a fixed distance of AM antenna systems must be evaluated. Under the new proposals, only [...] |
