Newscan: FCC’s O’Rielly calls 5.9 GHz ‘a mess’ amid questions about future of DSRC

FCC officials grant an application from the state of Montana to cancel the state’s public-safety narrowband licenses in the 700 MHz band ahead of next month’s buildout deadline, meaning the spectrum will fall under the authority of the states regional planning committee (RPC).

Preston Marshall, engineering director for the access division of Alphabet—the parent company of Google—talks about dynamic spectrum sharing, his opening keynote at IWCE 2017 and the March 30 all-day session entitled, “Building an Ecosystem for the CBRS Band.”

The process that licensees must follow if they choose to remain in compliance with Industry Canada's applicable rules, procedures The process that licensees must follow if they choose to remain in compliance with Industry Canada's applicable rules, procedures and treaties is ridiculous at best. Indeed, securing Canadian clearance is an excessive burden on licensees and entities that sell and service wireless systems to those licensees.

The increasingly divergent pieces of spectrum that need to be accessed in a single device make device design all the more complicated. At the same time, the multitude of potentially interfering devices and systems has increased. Thus--even after 800 MHz rebanding--the potential for interference in a device has never been greater.
