Returning for his second show, is Brian Webster. Brian Webster Consulting (and wirelessmapping.com) were started to fill a need for affordable wireless engineering services for those who cannot justify the cost of hiring full time RF Engineering staff. With over 18 years industry experience, projects are approached with a creative eye and cost-conscious methodology. Services can be provided in just about every wireless area, from cellular and PCS to public safety, wireless Internet, WIMAX, municipal wireless, distributed antenna systems (DAS) and any other wireless system technology. The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) helps present complex wireless engineering information in clear, color diagrams that the end user can use to make actionable business decisions. Brian Webster Consulting ' s GIS integration capabilities allow inclusion of demographic data and market analysis data as overlays on any WISP RF engineering diagrams. Brian has extensive experience in municipal wireless (muni) network design. Most recently he was an RF Engineering Manager at Earthlink where he was responsible for designing the City of Philadelphia ' s muni wireless network. This is one of the world ' s largest wireless mesh deployments. Brian ' s responsibilities included reviewing and approving the work of Earthlink engineers and Motorola contractors. Today we will be speaking with Brian about the topic of a little known value added benefit being a part of the Wireless Internet Service Providing Association, WECAT. WECAT is another acronym standing for WISPA EMERGENCY ACTION TEAM. Listen in as Brian will explain to us what WECAT is, how you can participate and how you may, hopefully never, need WECAT assistance.
