[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
