NATF TETRA Seminar, 6 June 2019

 

Flint Hills Resources (FHR) of Minneapolis, MN warmly welcomed the NATF to their campus, and hosted our seminar to share TETRA knowledge with invited guests. Over the course of several hours, our audience learned about TETRA, Spectrum challenges, Installation strategies, and participated in a tour of the installation. It was a tremendous opportunity to learn, network, and share.
