Representative of Sage Alerting Systems met with members of the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau earlier this month to discuss potential “live” in situ testing of Emergency Alert System software by Sage, according to a filing from the manufacturer that included details of the meeting. The FCC is taking a closer look at changes to EAS and Wireless Emergency Alerts, and has released a draft of a further notice of proposed rulemaking that, if adopted, would allow the use of EAS software by broadcasters if they choose. It’s a development the National Association of Broadcasters and some radio broadcasters have been pressing for. The FCC will consider the notice at its meeting on June 25. The plan is still in the discussion stage, according to according to the Sage filing. The meeting included elements that would be important to include in a potential test plan, including duration, number of participants, data collection, measuring contention for resources on shared compute platforms, cyber security and engineering support. “The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau emphasized the importance of maintaining a redundant non-test relay path in a given area’s EAS legacy relay design, and to that end, using only test areas where an approved FCC state plan is in effect,” Sage said in the filing. The June meeting between Sage and the commission was a follow-up to a “possible next steps” discussion during a software EAS demonstration Sage participated in at the FCC’s headquarters in May. In an interview this week, Radio World asked Sage President Harold Price for more details on what testing EAS software might involve and the implications of emergency alerting software for broadcasters. RW: What was the purpose of the meeting at the FCC? Harold Price: EAS broadcast from a device that is not Part 11 certified is not currently permitted. We started discussions on ways to do on-air software EAS tests before the FCC’s proposed rule making draft was circulated. Our intent was to show that software EAS was compatible with existing EAS systems in… [TheTopNews] Read More.19 hours ago - 10 Items or Less: Faster delivery pays off

2027 Norton Atlas In January, the historic British motorcycle brand Norton announced a return to the U.S. market headlined by four models featuring an altogether modern visual identity instead of a nostalgic one. Five months following that announcement, full details about the new 2027 Norton Atlas adventure bike have been released, as well as partial details about the Atlas GT sport-tourer. Designed and manufactured in Norton’s new plant in the U.K.’s Solihull area, the Atlas and Atlas GT share an engine, chassis components, and features, with their differences mostly coming down to tire size and suspension setups. Additionally, both models will be available in an Apex variant that adds electronic combined braking, vehicle hold functionality, tire pressure monitoring, an adjustable windscreen, a rear luggage frame, heated grips, cornering lights, and a puddle lamp for low-lit parking conditions. The Atlas models, as well as the Manx models that were announced with limited details in January, are part of the company’s Resurgence strategy that seeks to “reinterpret Norton’s visual identity through a contemporary lens that balances heritage with technical integration.” Norton claims the design “avoids decorative excess” in favor of a simple and modern style with a focus on functionality and practicality. Both the Atlas and Atlas GT are powered by a liquid-cooled 585cc parallel-Twin that makes a claimed 69 hp at 9,300 rpm and 42 lb-ft of torque at 7,500 rpm, with a 270-degree crank. Norton claims its engine design emphasizes usable torque. The bikes also come with a slipper clutch and a standard up/down quickshifter. The 8-inch TFT display can be operated with a joystick on the left switchcube. The Atlas models share a steel trellis frame that uses the engine as a stressed member and a cast-aluminum twin-sided swingarm. Fully adjustable KYB suspension includes a 43mm inverted fork and a rear monoshock, both of which offer 7.1 inches of travel on the Atlas and 5.5 inches on the Atlas GT. In addition to longer suspension travel, the Atlas gets a larger 19-inch front wheel compared to the GT’s 17-incher (both models use a 17-inch rear wheel), as well as higher ground clearance and a longer wheelbase to suit its adventure stance. The Atlas has a seat height of 33.3 inches, and the GT has a seat height of 32.1 inches. Electronics on the Atlas models are built around a Bosch 6-asix IMU… [TheTopNews] Read More.20 hours ago
