Scottish Football Legends Hall of Fame CCS Cards? What?! Great to see photos from University of Stirling's showcase day, which included the CCS Cards - real and digital - in their sports reminiscence. Picture reminiscence activities work by encouraging older adults to revisit moments from their past to reconnect and rebuild meaning. It’s also a great way to socialise and genuinely connect with others. For sports reminiscence, people revisit their past by remembering and reflecting on sporting moments and personalities (in this case Scottish Football Legends). It can be an excellent way for older people to recall their achievements and appreciate what they have done. Traditionally, these activities are done with paper-based cards and photos. Our digital CCS Cards (CCS Cards Virtual Facilitation Environment), bring a new level of flexibility and inclusiveness allowing greater involvement and ease of sharing. This was a great way for us to try out other ways custom CCS Cards can be used. Exciting times for what lies ahead! #reminiscencetherapy #reminiscence #ccscards

Recently tried out Longomatch analysis software for the first time and really enjoyed it. My first project involved analyzing the final 25 minutes of the first half in the Arsenal vs Liverpool match, focusing on Arsenal’s use of width to advance the ball, below are a few clips of these instances. Really enjoyed the experience and looking forward to sharpening my skills on this platform. More projects to come! #Longomatch #SoccerAnalysis #Arsenal #SkillDevelopment

Cultivating a deep understanding of the core business is not just an option for ICT establishments; it's the cornerstone of effective partnership and innovation. Only by aligning technological solutions with the heart of the organisation can we truly unlock its full potential. Amidst demonstrations and discussions, our ICT team had a remarkable opportunity at our recent Field Day to delve deep into the heartbeat of the organisation we serve. Understanding the core business of the #NSWRFS isn't just a priority for us - it's our foundation for innovation and support. As we showcased operational capabilities and explored technological synergies, it became even clearer: aligning our solutions with the mission and needs of the RFS is key to driving positive change and enhancing efficiency. A huge shoutout to everyone involved in making this event a reality, and a special thanks to the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai District, Cumberland/Macarthur District and ICT Field Engineering and Communications for their invaluable partnership. Together, we're not just embracing technology; we're shaping the future of emergency response and community resilience. 🚒

NTIA CLARIFIES USE OF CBRS GAA SPECTRUM UNDER BEAD PROGRAM On November 9, 2023 the National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) released an updated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) clarifying the use of Citizens Band Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum and the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. Under the NTIA’s BEAD Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the definition of “reliable broadband service” that may qualify for BEAD subsidies includes wireless deployments that use only licensed, or a hybrid of licensed and unlicensed, spectrum to deliver speeds of at least 100/20 Mbps.  NTIA’s updated FAQs clarifies that broadband Internet Service Providers (ISPs) using CBRS general authorized access (GAA) spectrum pursuant to the Federal Communications Commission’s “license-by-rule” regulations will be deemed to offer “reliable broadband” if a fiber deployment is too expensive. This is significant for two reasons. First, broadband ISPs can potentially qualify for BEAD funding through the use of CBRS GAA spectrum, and so avoid the costs of acquiring exclusive licensed spectrum. Second, locations within an ISP’s service area that are offered qualifying broadband service using CBRS GAA spectrum will be deemed “served” under the BEAD program, which avoids a potential overbuild by another BEAD-subsidized ISP.  https://lnkd.in/gaXEF3V3
