Meet Brian. He’s been working in this industry for over 20 years and he knows his mobile phone technology. Who better to explain how antennas and mobile phone signals work than him? You’ll also get to check out the view from our rooftop.

Thanks Brian, that was very interesting.
Hi Brian, very compact and clean installation and I noticed that you have installed a ZTE Base station on the roof top. I don’t know if you can share this information but is Public Mobile operating on or several ZTE switches or another vendor?
Thanks,
[...] first met Brian on our rooftop and now it’s time to visit his office. [...]
Great presentation Brian…
Love this new company. I want to put Alek in a sixty second ad. Companies don’t have a real person behind them. I work at CHFI (yes Rogers) couldn’t get a bundling opportunity off the ground with our own guys. I sell advertising results for a living.
I am meeting PHD on Thursday for some grass roots concepts. CHFI is the # 1 station in Toronto. I really hope someone gets this to Alek because I want to help gtow your share of the pie. Best regards
John
I looked at the cost of a business line and decided that the way to go for my business was with public mobile. I thought it would be a risk. A new company. Small license area. And, new technology. Pubilc Mobile uses a unique part of the broadcast spectrum. BUT I am surprised at how well Brian’s video hit the mark in allaying some of my fears. I decided to give the system a try.
Now the network is switched on and so am I. I am looking at my Roger’s Blackberry and wondering why I have two phones. As soon as Public’s network matures a bit (and with the new financing from ZTE that can happen quickly,) and as soon as they have data, I will dump rogers completely.
One suggestion though would be to have dual frequency phones so that international roaming is possible.
Brian,
I live in a condo and my suite is at eye level and just a stone’s throw away from one of your installations (maybe the one in your video – I am at Yonge & Wellesley, Toronto). I have a young family and we are concerned with the health risks that could potentially be posed by the signals being emitted/received via your equipment. I know that this is becoming a concern for the general public – not just in relation to Public Mobile but also with the masts and equipment being installed by other providers.
Could you please comment on the potential health risks associated with your installations and who at a regulatory level provides you with the permission to put up your antennae in Toronto?
