The first meeting of the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) VII will occur July 19. The first full meeting will introduce members of the CSRIC and announce the topics that CSRIC VII will consider and address.

Anterix, formerly pdvWireless, proposed a modification to the FCC’s temporary 900 MHz freeze that it says will provide greater flexibility.

Chinese company Huawei filed a patent infringement lawsuit against L3Harris Technologies in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that L3Harris Long Term Evolution (LTE) products infringe five Huawei patents.

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill that would change the federal classification of 9-1-1 professionals July 12.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said the commission will vote on rules to help ensure that people who call 9-1-1 from multiline telephone systems (MLTS), which commonly serve hotels, office buildings and college campuses, can reach 9-1-1 and be quickly located by first responders at its August meeting.

Several common themes stood out in reply comments filed in the FCC’s 900 MHz realignment proceeding, which proposes a 3-by-3-megahertz broadband segment to allow for Long Term Evolution (LTE) services in the band.

The relentless drive for more Wi-Fi and cellphone spectrum is on a collision course with established public-safety communications networks. Technology consumers expect more wireless services that are faster, ubiquitously available and uncongested. The demand is so high that the FCC opened a proceeding to adopt rules for unlicensed use in the 6 GHz spectrum, which is currently licensed to many public-safety entities and businesses that rely on the spectrum for safety and critical communications for fixed point-to-point microwave communications.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) proposed a new transmitter and receiver license type, referred to as the area-wide apparatus license (AWL) type.

The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International said it is adding microwave engineering and licensing services to its Part 90 frequency coordination.

A group of companies made a presentation to the FCC outlining an engineering study that showed that 6 GHz radio local area network (RLAN) operations will protect fixed service (FS) links from interference.
