AFC, APCO’s frequency coordination department, is pleased to introduce its network of dedicated local advisor volunteers. APCO’s advisors are responsible for frequency coordination in their home state and we would like to bring awareness and recognition to the dedication they exhibit on a daily basis. Please feel free to reach out to our local advisors with any questions dealing with FCC Part 90 licensing and frequency coordination.

Steve Cox is a Network Analyst for the NC State Highway Patrol. He has worked in voice and data for 20 years and has been a Local Advisor for APCO for the last nine. During his career at the Patrol, he has helped implement a state-wide private wireless data network for local, state, and federal law enforcement in North Carolina, managing over 200 tower sites across the state. Over the years, it has grown to include various other First Responders together with law enforcement, and partnering with commercial carriers, has been able to offer the latest technology such as LTE. During his free time, Mr. Cox enjoys spending time with his family at home on the coast and working in the garage ensuring his car is faster than his brother-in-law in the ¼ mile.
