CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Public Safety Towers Company (PSTC), a next-generation public safety telecommunications infrastructure provider in the United States, today named veteran executive John Bramfeld as the Vice President of Infrastructure Development. With two decades of wireless leadership, Bramfeld adds his strategic and financial expertise to the PSTC leadership team.
“PSTC is changing the wireless infrastructure landscape for the better, bringing together state, local, and commercial interests credibly and successfully,” said Bramfeld. “This is really a dream scenario for me, where I not only continue to drive the development of new telecommunications deployments as I have for most of my career, but now I have the privilege of doing it in the service of a higher purpose, which is dramatically improving and bringing benefit to the public safety networks our first responders rely upon as well as the people in the communities they serve. I love the mission of working collectively with the public safety community, government and the wireless industry to solve universal connectivity problems. By playing directly to the needs and strengths of public safety, we’re reinventing the infrastructure space.”
John will oversee expansion of PSTC’s business to address more state and local government and operator demand as well as to develop new infrastructure solution models. Having spent nearly two decades in the industry, spanning several technology generations, John has led the deployment of capital around fiber, towers, DAS, small cells, and private networks. It’s with this broad experience that he will shape PSTC’s approach to the market’s ever-increasing demand for more networking capacity and better utilization by our nation’s first responders.
“John has earned the trust and respect of the wireless carriers, which is not easily done over a long career in this challenging industry,” said PSTC’s COO Chris Odenthal. “We’ll rely heavily on his technical background and history of successfully bringing new teams and solutions to market. He has the relationships and trust needed to further PSTC’s depth in the market. Having that experience partnering with both private enterprises and commercial operators is critical, as you’ll find our success hinges largely on our ability to bring parties together under the banner of bettering public safety connectivity.”
