DeSSA Portal Domain

Oct 13, 2021

During the summer of 2020, the DeSSA portal moved to the cambiumast.com domain to align with the new Cambium brand. A redirect was placed so any user accessing the airast.org domain would be redirected to the new cambiumast.com domain. The redirect will expire on October 31, 2021.
