    2. 2 Access Broadband over Power Line Systems February 23, 2004, FCC Release NPRM in ET Dockets 04-37 & 03-104 Part 15 rule changes proposed set forth procedures to measure the radiofrequency (RF) energy emitted by equipment used to provide broadband service over power lines and establish particularized interference mitigation requirements. Intention is to facilitate the availability of broadband in rural and underserved areas and competitive alternative in areas where access to broadband is already available Operating frequencies between 1.705-80 MHz Requires companies to forward consultation notices to protect public safety systems Must register in an Industry Database managed by United Power Line Council, an independent operating unit of the UTC

    3. 3 Nextel Activity 800 MHz rebanding of SMR and LMR Services Public Safety moving down, Nextel moving up Contiguous spectrum allows for potential 3G type services 1.9 GHz 1990-1995 MHz paired with 1910-1915 MHz Allocated in FCC 800 MHz R&O, WT Docket 02-55 adopted 7/8/04 BAS Relocation in progress, 30 month timeline has started PCS interference issues being discussed 2.5 GHz Rebanding order released last year Developing transition plans, one issue involves designation of very large transition areas by Major Economic Areas (MEA) Three parties, Nextel, Sprint, and Clearwire hold most access rights to spectrum in the band

    4. 4 Advanced Wireless Services On 9/22/2004 FCC Releases 6th R&O, Third MOO and 5th MOO in ET Docket 00-248 Allocates AWS 1 Channels 1710-1755 MHz paired with 2110-2155 MHz, AWS Blocks A through E Allocates AWS 2 Channels: AWS F Block: 1995-2000 MHz paired with 1915-1920 MHz AWS G Block: 2020-2025 MHz paired with 2175-2180 MHz Note, Nextel Block 1990-1995 MHz paired with 1910-1915 MHz BAS Relocation Issues being worked by Nextel currently Commission must notify NTIA at least 18 months prior to any auction. Nine months prior to auction, NTIA must provide theFCCwith incumbent cost and relo information. Six months prior to auction the FCC must make some info available to bidders (not sure what this will be exactly). Appears that June 2006 (18 mos) would be earliest date for auction.

    6. 6 Dedicated Short Range Communications and Intelligent Transportation Systems in the 5.9 GHz Band FCC Release WT Docket 01-90 Report and Order 2/10/2004 Specifies Licensing and Services for DSRC Adopts the ASTM-DSRC standard for inter-operability 75 MHz of Spectrum between 5.850-59.25 GHz Roadside Units (RSUs), licensed under subpart M (Intelligent Transportation Radio Service) of Part 90 of the FCC Rules Licensees will receive non-exclusive geographic-area licenses Licensees register RSUs by site and segment(s). Registration currently using FCC ULS Coordination discussions involving FSS transmit earth stations in progress

    7. 7 Earth Stations on Vessels 1/6/2005 FCC Releases IB Docket 02-10 Report and Order Establishes regulatory framework for licensing the operation of Earth Stations onboard Vessels (ESVs) in Fixed-Satellite Services (FSS) networks in the C-Band and Ku-Band frequencies. Must coordinate C-band activity within 200 km of coastline or offshore operations Does not specify but encourages licensee to use Critical Contour Point methodology Encourages industry, specifically NSMA, to develop an appropriate interference criteria Limits spectrum to 36 MHz for uplink and 36 MHz for downlink, and limits satellite access to two at C-band 180 MHz aggregated coordination limit for all ESVs coordinated in an area ESV operators must: Maintain ESV tracking data for one year; supply data within 24 hours upon request POC available 24/7 hours a day Automatically shut-off ESV

    8. 8 Fixed and Mobile Broadband Access in 2150-2162 and 2500-2690 MHz Bands On July 29, 2004 FCC Release R&O and NPRM in Docket WT 03-66, supplemented with Order on 10/29/2004 New Band Plan for 2500-2690 MHz, Adds 2495-2500 MHz to the band Adjacent band interference with satellite systems and ISM Waiting for initial transition plan, petitions to modify transition areas, current areas are very large

    9. 9 BRS-EBS Band Plans: Pre-Transition at 2500-2690 and Post-Transition at 2495-2690 MHz

    10. 10 Unlicensed Operation in the 3650-3700 MHz Band On March 16, 2005 FCC release R&O on ET Docket 04-151 Introduction of wireless broadband operations in the 3650-3700 MHz band. The FCC adopted rules to open access to new spectrum for wireless broadband in the 3650-3700 MHz bands. Adopted hybrid approach from both of the FCC's unlicensed and licensed regulatory models Deletes restriction for mobile operation in the band Each terrestrial licensee in the 3650 MHz band will have a non-exclusive nationwide license and be required to register its fixed and base stations under Part 90 of the FCC rules Fixed and base station registration requirement Contention based protocol central to the spectrum sharing scheme 150 km protection zone around existing licensed FSS receive earth stations Must negotiate with FSS licensee if within the protection zone

    11. 11 3650-3700 MHz Protected Zones

    12. 12 Fixed Satellite Service in Ka Band (18 GHz) IB Docket 98-172 Reallocates spectrum between 17.7-19.7 for FSS and FS services FS Licenses at 18.58-18.8 will become secondary to satellite systems on June 8, 2010. FS (PCO) licenses at 18.30-18.58 GHz will become secondary on November 19, 2012. The FCC allocated 12.70-13.20 GHz band in CS Docket No. 99-250 for PCOs. Currently no narrow band FS channel allocations, WT Docket No. 04-143 the FCC proposes to add narrow channel plans of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 MHz bandwidth as well as new 30 and 50 MHz channel plans

    13. 13 70-90 GHz FCC Docket WT 02-146 71-76 GHZ, 81-86 GHz, 92-95 GHz 1.25 GHz Segments with aggregation to 5 GHz Broadband short links License by Rule Post License Registration Required 3 Industry Database Managers for site-by-site registration Shared with Federal Government, must get green light from NTIA NTIA yellow light requires FCC Form 601 and formal interagency process Near instantaneous interactive analysis and authorization system

    14. 14 Satellite Earth Station Streamlining In March of 2005 FCC adopted new licensing rules under 5th and 6th R&O under IB Docket 00-248 Adopted changes to the current Part 25 technical and processing rules and proposed further changes designed to reduce review time for non-routine earth station applications. Two new streamlined procedures for case-by-case review of applications for smaller-than-routine earth stations: Certification Procedure: Applicants can provide certifications of prior coordination with satellite operators that ensure that proposed stations will not cause unacceptable interference to their operations. Power Reduction: Applicants can file applications and specify that they will operate at a lower enough power level to prevent interference. The item also adopts similar certification procedures for proposed earth stations with higher-than-routine power. Also adopted additional technical rule changes, including updating the rules for Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSAT) networks using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), so that the requirements are consistent in different frequency bands.

    15. 15 Spectrum Sharing among NGSO-MSS (Big LEO) Systems in 1.6/2.4 GHz bands IB 02-364 MOO IB Docket No. 01-185 February 25, 2005 Allows ancillary terrestrial components (ATC) to MSS systems. Power increases allowed Does not require specific percentage of MSS system capability to be reserved for MSS operation All MSS/ATC equipment must be able to communicate via both MSS and ATC, Services must be available through both MSS and ATC.
