A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the Alpha Omega Communications booth at the HOA/Condo Expo last week! 🎊 ✨ We truly enjoyed connecting with property managers, board members, and industry partners who are proactive about protecting their buildings and residents. The conversations around Florida public safety radio compliance, BDA/DAS requirements, and first responder communication reliability were encouraging. Awareness is growing — and that matters. 🎆 🧑‍🚒 If you weren’t able to attend our CEU session, we are now scheduling complimentary Lunch & Learns for boards and management teams who want to better understand: • When BDA/DAS systems are required • What triggers compliance testing • How to avoid costly retrofit surprises • What AHJs are enforcing right now Our goal is simple: help you stay compliant and keep first responders connected when it matters most. ✨ Comment “LUNCH” below or send us a direct message to schedule a session for your property or portfolio. Looking forward to continuing the conversation. #publicsafety #radiofrequencytesting #BDA #cellularDAS

Higher pay and better benefits are in store for Orlando firefighters, following city commissioners’ approval Monday of a new labor contract. “This contract puts the Orlando firefighters back on top of all the municipalities in Central Florida … as far as both pay and benefits,” said Lt. Doug Zabin, president of the Orlando Professional Firefighters labor union. “This contract provides us with the largest raises that we have ever received from the city of Orlando. So we're very excited about that.” The new contract bumps up firefighters’ starting wage from about $59,000, the current starting rate, to just over $64,000 a year. Firefighters with more experience can potentially start at a slightly higher salary of around $67,000, Zabin said.

Osceola County and Orlando City SC have taken a major step forward in expanding the region’s sports, training, and community infrastructure. The two partners have signed a memorandum of understanding outlining a framework for more than $50 million in upgrades to Osceola Heritage Park, Osceola County Stadium, and the surrounding property. The multiphase plan includes enhancements to the Orlando Health Training Grounds and a new, state-of-the-art training facility that will bring all Orlando City, Orlando Pride, Orlando City B, and Academy operations together in one location. The agreement also outlines new mixed-use development opportunities, including a medical facility, restaurant, and hotel, adding to the area’s long-term economic potential. This investment strengthens Central Florida’s position as a destination for sports, entertainment, and year-round training, while supporting job creation and community development across Osceola County. Another example of how regional partnerships continue to move the Orlando region forward. https://lnkd.in/ezcygX6t
