800 MHz Spectrum Rebanding

   
The FCC has mandated a realignment of the 800 MHz band to keep Sprint Nextel and other cellular operations from interfering with public safety radio transmissions. Sprint Nextel will fund this program without disrupting service. But public safety and other 800 MHz licensees must prepare for rebanding now given the scope and complexity of the task. Operational integrity must be ensured, costs fully covered, and rebanding completed in the timeframe identified by the FCC.  
   
Televate’s technical and program management skills include:
  • Providing turn-key design and operations for land mobile radio and commercial cellular systems
  • Managing wireless network retunes and radio reprogramming projects
  • Resolving radio interference issues and in delivering responsible spectrum management strategies
  • Negotiating fair and equitable transition terms for all affected parties
 

Televate Can Help You Meet the Challenge

Televate offers a comprehensive approach to help radio system operators in the Public Safety and Critical Infrastructure Industry comply with this FCC order, while maintaining full operational integrity. We have designed a suite of Pre-Negotiation, Negotiation, and Implementation services that align with the Transition Administrator (TA) Regional Priority Plan. Televate specialists will integrate with your operational environment in order to plan, coordinate, and execute a timely and efficient program.

Televate’s vast experience with project, financial, and technical management of radio network upgrades and operations, combined with our expertise in frequency planning and system retunes, make us uniquely qualified. Especially in regions where 800 MHz is used extensively and over a wide area, the transition must be carefully synchronized to avoid interference and maintain interoperability. Televate can minimize risk and help you take advantage of this opportunity to meet additional needs, such as further reducing interference, increasing regional radio capacity, and enhancing regional interoperability.


With our comprehensive abilities, your operational staff can focus on its core mission during rebanding, while getting positioned to meet future radio network demands. Fulfilling the FCC mandate and achieving local and regional objectives requires a partner with an unwavering commitment to success. Televate is that dedicated partner.
