[802SEC] Safecom and IWN: Integrated Land Mobile Radio and wireless services for government agencies
Dear EC members,
Jim Carlo thought there might be interest among 802 participants in the
following items:
There are two federal Initiatives that released RFCs last Friday (7-16-04),
SafeCom and IWN. Both are related to Integrated Land Mobile Radio and
wireless services for government agencies.
I am forwarding along to you FYI.
Regards,
--Paul Nikolich
