The Commission’s Part 90 rules distinguish between Class A (narrowband) and Class B (wideband) signal boosters. Section 90.219(e)(5) requires that a Part 90 signal booster must be labeled to indicate whether it is a Class A or Class B device and include an advisory stating that the user must be an FCC licensee or have the express consent of a licensee to operate the device and that the user must register Class B signal boosters.
Bird developed a signal booster that a user can configure to operate as either a Class A or Class B device and seeks a waiver of Section 90.219(e)(5) so that it can receive an equipment authorization designation under both classes, as well as market and label the device accordingly.
