“Radio Active Designs - Wireless Spectrum”

The FCC has recently concluded a radio spectrum auction above 608 MHz. T-Mobile has spent $8,000,000,000, the largest amount of any auction winner, and is testing and energizing above 608 MHz now. This SBE discussion will review the spectrum auction, TV repack fallout and final affect on to wireless microphones, intercoms and IFB systems, where in the spectrum we will be able to continue to operate.

The presenter has been in direct contact with T-Mobile and will present an update on their operations. Once the auction winners energize in South Florida above 608 MHz, it becomes illegal to operate a wireless audio device in that band. It is already illegal to manufacture or sell wireless audio equipment above 608 MHz with few exceptions all of which will be discussed.

About the Presenter: James Stoffo authored the RF Coordination and Procedures manual for the Olympic Committee and has worked as the Frequency Coordinator for the World Cup, NBA All Star and Rose Bowl games. He also has worked as the wireless microphone and intercom engineer for multiple Super Bowls, Latin and US Grammys and Billboard music awards, Country Music Awards and Soul Train live broadcasts. James currently is the founder of Radio Active Designs, the newest wireless intercom manufacturer in our industry.

All are welcome to attend.
