“PCTEL is excited to join TCCA’s global community of industry leaders,” said Rishi Bharadwaj, PCTEL’s Chief Operating Officer. “PCTEL is at the forefront of several important trends in critical communications, including 5G technology, public safety broadband, and the growing demand for reliable radio coverage in buildings. Together with TCCA, we can help to enable reliable critical communications connectivity worldwide, both indoors and out,” added Bharadwaj.

“PCTEL’s expertise across the range of wireless technologies will enable the company to bring much knowledge to TCCA, particularly relating to the US market,” said Tony Gray, TCCA Chief Executive. “With FirstNet leading the field in public safety broadband implementation, and with TETRA steadily increasing its footprint in North America, PCTEL’s experience will be a highly valuable resource.
