From the Chief’s Corner: A Deeper Dive into Secondary Power Source Batteries...
By Chief Alan Perdue (ret.), SBC Executive Director
Posted on January 31, 2023
Last week I had the opportunity to take a few days off before the 2023 SBC seminar circuit kicks off in Miami, FL and then takes us to 21 other cities across the US and Canada. During our time away, we did some snorkeling. To really see what’s beneath the water’s surface it’s best to dive down where you get up close and personal with some neat looking fish, colorful reefs, and other sites that truly come to life. Later as I was reflecting on that experience, I thought about a little detail related to the ERCES secondary power supplies that’s typically not discussed in too much detail... the battery itself.

From the Chief’s Corner: Are You at the Table?
By Chief Alan Perdue (ret.), SBC Executive Director Posted on December 22, 2022
For me, the Christmas season is a time of coming together with family, friends, and coworkers. Much of that time is often spent “at the table”, a place where we share food and drink and reflect on the events and activities in past year and begin discussing opportunities for the coming year. During the latter part of December, it's not uncommon for things like business travel and meetings to kind of slow down a little bit which allows us some time for reflection and preparation for the future. During this time of reflection, I found myself thinking about many of the activities we “the Coalition” were blessed to be a part of in 2022 and on the significant impact the Coalition and our members have made in the world of in-building communications.

End of the Year Message from the President
Posted on December 22, 2022 By Prince Niyyar | President, SBC Board of Directors
Dear Safer Buildings Coalition Members,
Holidays are my favorite time of the year as it gives me time to reflect on the year gone by and start thinking of the year ahead. As I reflect on 2022, one of the blessings for me personally has been to be involved with a group of incredibly dedicated members and colleagues of the Safer Buildings Coalition, who care about our mission of eliminating wireless "Dead Zones." And with the work that this passionate community has done over the last year, we have together considerably advanced the mission of the organization this year. Some of the notable accomplishments of 2022 include:
