Today, the Industry Council for Emergency Response Technologies (iCERT) sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission urging it to adopt new rules for using signal boosters in conjunction with public safety radio systems. The letter supports a request made in July by the Safer Buildings Coalition (SBC), which noted that gaps in the current regulatory framework have led to poorly designed signal booster systems that often cause critical problems for public safety communications. iCERT intends to work with the FCC and the public safety industry to ensure that industrial signal boosters are used in a manner that ensures their effective use and with full consent of public safety licensees.
