PAGING CARRIERS SHARE SPECTRUM

ATLANTA-Preferred Networks Inc. and TeleTouch Communications Inc. agreed to jointly share common radio frequency transmitters in selected metropolitan markets. According to the agreement, each company will control the RF in specific markets and will provide reciprocal rights for interconnect facilities through the Telecator Network Paging Protocol.

“Our goal in reaching this agreement was to utilize the 157.740 channel to its maximum capacity, protect the respective Federal Communications Commission licenses and maximize our capital investment,” said Mark Dunaway, Preferred Networks’ chairman and chief executive officer. “By sharing frequency in selected markets, we are able to extend our network reach with minimal capital investment and, at the same time, more efficiently utilize the 157.740 channel.”
