During the January chapter luncheon, Lt. Col. David Elder, USA, chapter president, recognized two members for their outstanding contributions to the chapter: Chief Master Sgt. Stephen Burris, ANG, chapter secretary, and Electa Kean with AT&T, who as corporate liaison reached out to dozens of companies for the chapter. The guest speaker was Charles Bock, government account manager for Verizon Wireless. Bock discussed Verizon's recent expansion into the Alaska markets to include 4G LTE in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau, as well as LTE for Rural America (LRA) in outlying communities. Verizon's robust infrastructure has built-in redundancy and a fleet of mobile backup systems (COWS, GOATS, COLTS and RATS). Bock also discussed coming improvements in Priority calls on the 3G network. |
