March 8, 2024

The Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA) is pleased to announce that Adam Wang, a student at Old Dominion University (ODU), Norfolk, Virginia will receive the EWA-Joseph B. Vestal Endowed Scholarship for the 2024 Spring Semester. This scholarship was created in 2013 to recognize and honor the contributions of Joseph Vestal who was instrumental in developing the rules and many of the operational characteristics of private wireless systems both private and commercial that are followed today. Mr. Vestal served in leadership positions at both the American Mobile Telecommunication Association and the Enterprise Wireless Alliance. The scholarship awards financial aid to a full-time student at ODU enrolled in Electrical Engineering Technology or Information Systems Management who intends to pursue a professional career in wireless applications or telecommunications.

Mr. Wang is presently a senior majoring in information technology and systems. In his note of appreciation, Mr. Wang stated that it is his “intention to use these funds to further my education by enrolling in a master’s program for informational technology after I graduate from Old Dominion University. Thank you again for choosing me for this incredible opportunity and I hope one day I will be able to give back and help others like you have helped me.” Mr. Vestal would have been pleased.

Scholarship funds are raised through individual and corporate donations. Learn more about the scholarship at EWA’s website.

It’s not just about finding frequencies. It’s about finding the RIGHT frequencies for that customer, and EWA excels every time at that. We would not be moving forward without EWA.

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.

The advocacy and regulatory issues are very important to our business, and, without EWA, we would have no voice. Nobody is speaking up for players like us in Washington except EWA.

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.
