Why are we changing our name?

Because we live in a post-9/11 world and first responder communications — already vital to the nation’s well being — have become even more important. Consequently, we gradually have shifted our editorial coverage towards the first responder, homeland security, public utility, public transportation and military sectors, and away from the enterprise wireless sector. Today, we focus exclusively on communications systems and equipment used by professionals who have dedicated their lives to keeping the public safe and secure.

As a result of MRT’s evolution, we decided that the publication needed a name that was more in step with what it already has become. MRT will become Urgent Communications beginning with the August edition.

Two important things we won’t be changing!

1. The strength of our circulation.

We will continue to reach 32,000 urgent communications professionals – with more public-safety and government titles than any other magazine in the industry!

2. The quality of our editorial coverage and marketing products.

Our team is more dedicated than ever to bringing you the daily, weekly and monthly coverage of the urgent communications sector and the most comprehensive and targeted product opportunities in the market.

We hope you’ll like the publication’s new name and its new look.
