Internet and cellular services and technologies change quickly. Airport operators must continuously evaluate their telecommunication strategies to ensure they provide adequate services for customers, vendors, and other stakeholders, and do so in a manner that benefits their business interests. TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 from 2:30PM-4PM Eastern that will explore key trends and developments in these services and technologies while highlighting the legal issues and challenges. The webinar will cover spectrum management and interference issues. Presenters will also offer guidance to help airport operators navigate contractual and policy strategies related to service classifications and spectrum management.
The webinar features research from ACRP Legal Research Digest 43: Legal Considerations for Telecommunications at Airports.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program. There is no fee to attend this webinar; however, you must sign into MyTRB.org to register.
