EWA’s Mark Crosby to be Inducted into Wireless Hall of Fame

June 24, 2021

Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA) Chief Executive Officer Mark E. Crosby will be inducted into the prestigious Wireless Hall of Fame during the Wireless History Foundation (WHF) Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C. on November 11, 2021. Induction into the Wireless Hall of Fame is one of the industry’s highest honors, acknowledging the leadership, innovation, and achievement of each honoree. Eligibility for the Wireless Hall of Fame is based on an individual’s contributions to the advancement of wireless services, products, and programs.

Under his leadership, EWA has become a fierce defender of EWA-member spectrum rights, a strong advocate for responsible regulatory policy, and a trusted Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-certified frequency advisory committee.

Throughout Mr. Crosby’s nearly 50-year career, he has been a passionate advocate for private wireless which includes business enterprises, network operators, sales and service providers, and manufacturers, and his leadership has helped shape the industry. He has focused on increasing the efficient use of spectrum, expanding opportunities for business/industrial licensee access to spectrum, encouraging vendors to develop and users to embrace more efficient digital technology, and automating the processes of frequency coordination and licensing. Mark is a visionary, whose ability over the years to bring the industry to consensus has resulted in numerous achievements for private wireless stakeholders.

“On behalf of the EWA Executive Committee and the entire Board of Directors, I congratulate Mark on his induction into the Wireless Hall of Fame,” said EWA Board Chairman Geno Viviano. “We are proud of his tireless, innovative leadership and incredible achievements for EWA members and the rest of the private wireless industry.”

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!

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.

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.

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.
