Many of you already know Brian Webster. He has been with us when we were helping Mac Dearman and many others post-Katrina, he was at the first WiNOG with us, he was the member representative to WISPA while he worked for Earthlink in Philly. Brian has seen much and has been part of our efforts through it all. At this time I would like to introduce you to Brian Webster again. This time as a Vendor Member to WISPA. Welcome Brian. We hope your continued involvement will be beneficial to you and our members. Here is a bit about Brian in his own words:
I started my consulting business in 2002 when I realized there was a need for quality wireless engineering services at an affordable price. Back then only large wireless companies had good RF data because they could afford to hire full time engineering staff and buy very expensive RF prediction software. As I witnessed the emergence of the WISP industry, I realized that there needed to be a way for a WISP to get good engineering help without paying for a full time engineering staff. Wirelessmapping.com was started to help fill that need. This is my 18th year in the wireless industry. I'm fortunate because I was able to turn a passion for radio into a career. I started as a Motorola 2-Way Service Center sales rep in 1990. That's where I received a lot of my initial wireless education. Afterwards, I went to work in the Cellular and PCS industry and traveled all over the United States, working on cellular network expansions. I held many positions ranging from site acquisition and zoning, to construction management, to project director, and RF engineering. This is my seventh year working as an independent consultant. I spent one year of that time working for EarthLink as a Senior RF Engineering Manager. Of my major responsibilities was the Philadelphia Municipal Wireless Network. I retired in 2004 as a Navy Reserve Chief after serving my country for a total of 21 years. I've always liked the WISPA organization and was an associate member in the past but am now happy to join as a vendor member. I've already had the pleasure of meeting and/or doing work for many WISPA members and I look forward to continuing to support WISPA and seeing it grow.
