Harlin McEwen

Government Technology released its list of the Top 25 Doers, Dreamers and Drivers of 2010, and Harlin McEwen was among those recognized.

Harlin McEwen is a tireless advocate for a national broadband public safety network. He also happens to be the leading authority on the subject as the elected chairman of the Public Safety Spectrum Trust Corp. — the nonprofit selected by the FCC to guide construction of such a network.

Wherever you find the nation's leaders discussing nationwide public safety wireless interoperability, you're likely to find McEwen at the forefront of those talks.

For example, McEwen recently addressed Congress (in spoken testimony and through a white paper) about what nationwide interoperable wireless communications could mean for public safety agencies. He also tackled growing misconceptions on the topic and the costs associated with building such a network.
