NARROW BANDING
The FCC has set the final date of January 1,
2011 to modify existing wideband systems to expand coverage and to
manufacture and import 25kHz capable equipment
THE FINAL DEADLINE FOR WIDEBAND
OPERATIONS IS JANUARY 1, 2013
- Narrowbanding does not require
moving to another frequency band
- It merely involves reducing the
bandwidth of the channel(s) you are currently licensed on.
- Most radios purchased in the last
7 to 9 years are already narrowband capable. They only need to be
re-tuned
-Converting to digital is not
required
The year 2013 may seem a long way
off, but it is better to plan early and chart a path to a narrow-band future
QV joins with Bryant College in Smithfield, RI on the CISCO IPICS
interoperability system.
