Wireless and radio (RF) communications-related matters in the United States are "hot topics" these days, with a wide variety of intriguing and competing perspectives, thoughts, ideas, and opinions from most all U.S. industry sectors and stakeholders being debated about how to "best" use the electromagnetic spectrum. Here are links to two private radio/wireless industry discussion and information groups that might be of interest to some.

The Private Wireless Forum is limited to U.S. communications professionals associated with private LMR/SMR land mobile radio, wireless data, SCADA, telemetry, RoIP networks, and related licensed or license-free fixed or mobile RF communications technologies deployed in the United States:
