Wireless Law Blogger: Alan Tilles

With over 35 years of wireless experience, I’ve built my career to become one of the “go-to” attorneys in 260156428_1118815715589144_5243960541954283883_nthe industry regarding spectrum utilization.  From radio manufacturers, to frequency coordinators, radio engineers, public safety agencies, railroads and utilities, I create innovative answers to complex technological problems.

Using extensive background owning and running radio stations, I’ve conceived and proposed rules at the FCC to address problems faced by the wireless industry. Major projects include authoring rules for land mobile radio narrowbanding, representing hundreds of public safety entities in 800 MHz rebanding, authoring rules defining interference, writing and evaluating Requests for Proposal to implement public safety radio systems and helping railroads acquire spectrum for Positive Train Control.

As one of the most sought-after public speakers in the country, I can be seen at seminars and webinars nationwide on a regular basis, including the International Wireless Communications Expo and the Global Transport Forum.  Along with this blog, my writing can also be found on websites such as Urgent Communications, and I’m a regular contributor on Federal News Radio.
