Richter and Shea Boyd The 900 MHz band (896-901/935-940 MHz) encompasses 10 MHz of spectrum that is used by many utilities, refiners, railroads and other critical infrastructure operators in the United States, primarily for two-way voice communications. These "narrowband" uses are important to both the daily operations of these businesses as well as safety-related and emergency response communications. The alternative bands for narrowband communications are limited. In many of the more populated areas across the country, available narrowband frequencies are intensively used, and there is concern that there may not be sufficient spectrum available to support future needs, particularly the expansion of large utility and refinery operations that rely on these frequencies. In rural areas, and away from coastal urban centers, 900 MHz frequencies are less heavily utilized. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/broadcasting-film-tv-radio/929522/900-mhz-draft-order-what-to-know?email_access=on -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200512143126.GA10433@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 14:31:26 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Uncovering the cyber threat within All Internet-connected businesses need insight into one of the fastest growing cyber security problems ? the threat from within an organisation. https://www.itweb.co.za/content/rxP3jMBmyX27A2ye -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200512144855.GA10616@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 14:48:55 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Why Data Tokenization Could Be the Answer to Government Security Prayers With growing number of breaches, there is a huge need for more advanced measures to protect public sector data. By Warren Poschman This year, we have witnessed a variety of government data breaches around the world, ranging from the Quebec government breach which exposed over 350,000 teacher records, to the Israeli citizens voters records leak which affected 6.5 million people, and even the Dutch government breach where personal information pertaining to 7.9 million organ donors was exposed. https://securitytoday.com/articles/2020/05/12/why-data-tokenization-could-be-the-answer-to-government-security-prayers.aspx?m=1 -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Thu, 14 May 2020
