BOCA RATON, FL — Christine Churchman Tringali, a senior interconnect engineer with Verizon Wireless, has been appointed by Florida Governor Jeb Bush to the Florida Wireless 911 Board.

Wireless providers and counties that operate 911 and E911 systems require adequate funding to recover the costs of designing, purchasing, installing, testing, and operating enhanced facilities, systems, and services necessary to comply with the FCC requirements.
