From
WIA President and CEO Jonathan Adelstein:
“WIA
thanks the Department of Homeland Security for expeditiously providing the
Declaration of National Emergency Access Letter so that wireless technicians can
access essential communications facilities. It is crucial to maintain and
service broadband infrastructure during this time so that businesses can
continue to operate. This action by DHS, built upon a provision championed by
WIA in the 2018 SANDy Act, provides tower owners and authorized technicians
access to communications infrastructure during emergencies, making available
the means necessary to ensure that our nation’s networks remain up and running
at their best during this critical time.”
