iBwave Joins Safer Buildings Coalition

In-Building Wireless Network Experts Pledge Commitment to SBC and Pioneering Mission to Make Buildings Safer for the Public and First Responders

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) March 24, 2014 — The Safer Buildings Coalition (SBC) today announced that iBwave, the standard for in-building wireless software and training globally, has joined SBC as a charter member. SBC is a non-profit organization established to make buildings safer during emergencies for occupants and first responders through industry awareness, policy and deployment best-practice education aimed at improving indoor wireless communications capabilities.

“SBC welcomes iBwave and the extensive in-building wireless expertise and global perspective the company brings to our organization,” said Alan Perdue, SBC executive director. “A significant percentage of wireless usage occurs indoors. That, combined with a need to ensure the reliability of indoor two-way radio communications for first responders, makes now a pivotal time to bring industry leaders together to enhance the coverage, capacity and dependability of wireless networks inside buildings.”

iBwave President and CEO Mario Bouchard said, “iBwave appreciates and fully supports the Safer Buildings Coalition and its efforts to spur and unite wireless industry leaders to address and solve in-building communications challenges. With the migration to 4G LTE from 2G and 3G technology and the unavoidable complexities of designing and deploying reliable indoor wireless networks, it’s critical that our company and others work closely with the SBC to more effectively focus on this important public safety issue.”

SBC is hosting a public safety panel discussion at the IWCE Expo on Thursday, March 27 at 3:30 p.m. in room S228 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Registered conference attendees and media are encouraged to attend the panel session, which will be moderated by Ken Rehbehn, a principal analyst with the Yankee Group’s Network Research team.
