EWA Files Comments on Bristol-Myers Squibb Request for Waiver
Publication Date: 
June 20, 2017

The Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA) filed supporting comments in response to a Waiver Request filed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company to use UHF channels designated for Airport Terminal Use (ATU) at five of their plants in New Jersey and Connecticut. EWA had previously recommended use of these channels after determining that there were no other Industrial/Business (I/B) Pool channels that could be coordinated for centralized trunked FB8 status inside the Company’s campus facilities. The ATU channels are reserved within 16 kilometers of several hundred large and small airports for use by entities providing commercial air transportation services in connection with servicing and supplying aircraft. They are available on a secondary basis to other I/B entities at locations between 16 and 80 kilometers from the designated airports if limited to the confines of an industrial complex or manufacturing yard and operated with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 10 watts. 

  • Using Spectrum Intel has been a game-changer for us. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, and the Market Area Reports have automated many tasks that we previously had to do manually, reducing delays of getting time sensitive data out to our sales team. The search functionality is impressively fast, and it’s clear that EWA is committed to continuous improvement, making the tool even more useful and intuitive. Highly recommend!

  • It’s remarkable what we’ve been able to do with EWA’s support. It’s a collaborative effort that has allowed Midland to deliver unparalleled support to our customers. No one else has the depth of understanding of FCC rules, which has resulted in more application grants. Midland Communications has a profound appreciation for EWA’s advocacy efforts. It has allowed us to have a voice before the FCC.

  • A Beep has been a happy customer of Spectrum Intel since its launch. It’s easy to use, the information is much more accessible, and the service includes extra features that other license activity reporting services don’t have. Spectrum Intel saves my team time each week.

  • We use EWA for all of our FCC license applications. The staff at EWA provide outstanding customer service and do all they can to see that applications are granted. EWA does a super job of staying on top of situations that affect our ability to file license applications and serve customers. EWA’s Regulatory Call keeps us informed about what is happening with the FCC and their online systems.
