Wireless Tech and Policy Summit Illustrates SBC’s True Scope

By John Foley, SBC Managing Director

Posted on June 16, 2023

Ask anyone “What is the Safer Buildings Coalition?” or, “What is the mission of the Safer Buildings Coalition?," and you are likely to hear one or more of the following:

• “They are about fire codes and in-building LMR.”
• “They focus on public safety.”
• “They advocate and educate about ERCES (ERRCS, in-building public safety, etc.)”
• “We do cell DAS and Private LTE, we don’t do public safety, so they aren’t really relevant to us.”
• “Chief Perdue!”

We get it. SBC has been very involved in the creation and adoption of the fire and building codes and standards that are the principal drivers of the in-building public safety business. But that is not how SBC got its start, and that does not describe the full scope of the SBC mission. 

From the Chief’s Corner: The Summit - Time for Reflection

Wednesday, May 24th was a great day. A large group of in-building stakeholders met in our Nation’s Capital for the Safer Buildings Coalition’s first-ever Wireless Tech & Policy Summit. As with many events I attend it’s always great to network with people you may not see in our day-to-day activities and catch up on what’s going on in their world.

“A Truly Remarkable Gathering of Experts and Professionals” - 2023 Wireless Tech & Policy Summit Recap

Posted on June 16, 2023

The 2023 Wireless Tech & Summit was an eventful, educational, somewhat exhausting -- and ultimately successful whole-day affair.

In the words of Prince Niyyar, CEO, Commdex & Safer Buildings Coalition Board President:

“The summit was truly a remarkable gathering of experts and professionals from the wireless industry and Government, and I found it to be a highly enriching experience. It was a valuable platform for knowledge-sharing and networking, allowing me to connect with professionals who share a passion for the same issues. The event was well-organized, and the coordination and support provided by the organizing team was exceptional.”

It was a busy day indeed. Sponsors, exhibitors and SBC staff were up late the night before and up early on the big day, adding the final touches before the 200-plus attendees started arriving.

Thank You to Our Sponsors & Exhibitors
