  5. We won’t know until the auction is over and FCC issues complete results. ► ■3 year transition period.Keep searching for news stories: “FCC auction wireless microphones white space” etc.

  6. Part 74 Licensing • The Part 74 License will allow Licensed operation of wireless mics, wireless in ear monitors, and wireless communications in the following bands. Users who routinely work with 50 or more frequencies are eligible to apply for and be protected under the FCC’s Low Power Broadcast Auxiliary (LPBA) Part 74 License providing immediate access to the white space database and offering the right to reserve necessary frequencies for a production or event.

  7. Geo-location Database • Database shows which TV channels are reserved for wireless mics and comms • Registering event protects you from interference on non-reserved channels • Licensed users get immediate access • Unlicensed users need FCC approval first • 30-day advance notice required • Expect them to be very selective
