Traditional spectrum allocation schemes entail assigning frequency bands to selected users depending on their applications and geographical location. Rapid advancements in RF technologies have increased the demand for spectrum, thereby making it necessary to look for methods that allow dynamic spectrum access. Dynamic spectrum access enables secondary users to use unoccupied frequency bands assigned to licensed users in a manner that prevents harmful interference, thereby maximizing utilization of the finite spectrum.

The compliance deadlines for RAY BAUM’s Act has passed but many companies are struggling to fully comply with the requirements of the act.

With the original funding for the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) division set to end, NIST has provided additional funding to allow the division to continue its research.

Key stakeholders in the aviation and wireless industries identified a series of steps that will continue to protect commercial air travel from disruption by 5G C-band interference while also enabling Verizon and AT&T to enhance service around certain airports.

A proposed bill would take proceeds from an auction of the 3.1 – 3.45 GHz band and allocate a portion to expanding the implementation of next-generation 911 (NG 911).

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel shared new draft rules to improve the reliability and resiliency of wireless networks during emergencies. If adopted by a vote of the full commission, the rules would help reduce wireless phone outages for the public and support faster service restoration after hurricanes, wildfires and other disasters.
