QCommunications &
QForce Associates
QCommunications is a group of experts who have worked in telecommunications since 1997. Since its founding in 2006, QComm has participated in a broad variety of programs, providing clients with extensive support and quality services. We have helped members of broadcast providers and numerous vendors transition the frequencies on over 300 TV stations. Our work in the Repack program established a productive working relationship with the FCC, where we hold a seat in a Working Group promoting security, reliability, and interoperability of open radio access network equipment to the Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) VIII.
Prior to establishing QComm Tony zumMallen served on the Sprint/Nextel 2GHZ team to relocate the stations. Tony QComm to work with broadcasters to ensure that the stations maximized the benefits of the Sprint/Nextel 2GHZ deal as per the FCC requirements. Their teams continue accumulating greater reimbursement results for Rip & Replace clients than those companies are able to achieve on their own.
QComm recently expanded after recognizing the need for more accurate and robust signal verification, adding our Veteran-owned and -operated QForce Airborne Division. This expansion enabled us to now offer comprehensive field studies and measurement solutions with the use of American-made unmanned aerial systems (UASs).
