Public Safety Should Share with Public Safety
EWA has asked the FCC to confirm that the following standards should be used when Industrial/Business (I/B) coordinators consider requests from public safety frequency advisory committees to use I/B spectrum below 470 MHz. First, PS applications for non-trunked systems do not qualify for waivers to access I/B channels, but should be coordinated for the most appropriate shared PS frequency. This not only is consistent with the FCC rules, but promotes optimal PS communications by having entities with more similar operational characteristics share with one another. MORE |
EWA Supports State of Maine Paging Waiver
EWA filed Comments supporting the State of Maine's request for a waiver to use a paging only Public Safety frequency for two-way voice operations at a site within their statewide system. Specifically, EWA commended the State for its diligence in investigating all potentially available Public Safety frequencies rather than seeking additional I/B spectrum for its network. |
EWA Urges FCC to Quickly Resolve 800 MHz Licensing Dispute
Upon discovering that several entities are engaged in a rather testy application dispute associated with accessing 800 MHz Expansion Band and Guard Band spectrum, EWA sent a letter to the FCC noting that since this spectrum is the first "new" spectrum available for I/B and SMR applicants in many decades, the FCC must ensure that all applicable rules and coordination processes are followed scrupulously.

FCC Clarifies TETRA Rules
The FCC responded to a Petition from Motorola Solutions clarifying that TETRA could be deployed on all channels in the 809-824/854-869 MHz band, and that the rules permit deployment of any technology that meets the technical criteria adopted in the Report and Order, whether or not it is TETRA technology. |
900 MHz I/B Spectrum Now Available
As a result of a recent FCC decision, the 900 MHz I/B pool is back in business for new system applications. While consent to use channels is still required from Sprint Nextel, it is anticipated that all such requests will be approved. Contact EWA Spectrum Solutions department for further details. |
