EWA Launches Website for Medical Body Area Network Registration

June 14, 2016

The Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA) announced today the launch of its MBAN website that will enable health care facilities to formally register and seek concurrence for the deployment of Medical Body Area Networks (MBAN) in the 2360-2390 MHz band. EWA’s MBAN registration and database site is available at www.MBANregistration.org.

MBAN will be used for wireless patient monitoring in hospitals and health care facilities to transmit patient health data over a short range at a very low power level. The devices are range-restricted to indoor use at health care facilities. MBAN operations are on a secondary, non-interference basis with existing Aeronautical Mobile Telemetry (AMT) operations. To coordinate MBAN deployments, EWA will use line of sight calculation and collaboration with Aerospace and Flight Test Radio Coordinating Council® (AFTRCC), the FCC designated AMT coordinator, for their certification and final approval.

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.

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.

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.

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.
