Updated to September 3, 2012 channel availability (since last December, a loss of eight 40 mW channels in 15 Metro areas) https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/11/11-11-0499-05-00af-us-metro-mhzpops.xls petere From: *** 802.11 TGaf - TV White Spaces OperationTask Group *** [mailto:STDS-802-11-TGAF@xxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of Peter Ecclesine (pecclesi) With the start of a 45-day trial run of Telcordia’s TVWS database https://prism.telcordia.com/tvws/home/index.shtml
I’ve updated the US Metro POPs spreadsheet Detroit gained 4 40 mw channels and Seattle gained 10 fixed channels (restoring the 10 they had in the spring) since the last update in September, 2011.
The FCC request asks operators of community multichannel video programming distributors (MVPD),
wireless microphone systems with > 100 microphones in use, and temporary Broadcast Auxiliary Services (point-to-point links) to register with the FCC and check the Telcordia database. Only after that is done will we know how much TV white space is available
at each location. http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-11-1956A1.pdf “the trial of the Telcordia database system is currently scheduled to last for 45 days and will therefore end on January 20, 2012” Operators of MVPD receive sites, wireless microphones users, and operators of temporary BAS links must specifically register their sites to receive protection from TV band devices.
As required under the rules, Telcordia is providing a registration capability for these facilities. These registration capabilities are available through the database test facility at:
https://prism.telcordia.com/tvws/home/trial
. The rules also provide that responsible parties may request that the Commission approve registrations for protection of venues where unlicensed wireless microphones are used. Such requests for registration will first
be made available for public comment, and the Commission will subsequently review them for approval. However, the Commission has not yet completed the development of its process for acceptance and approval of registrations for these venues. In the interim
and for purposes of this trial, Telcordia, with OET’s approval, has implemented a test registration capability for registration of venues where unlicensed wireless microphones are used; this test registration capability is also available through Telcordia’s
database test facility. Registrations for MVPD receive sites, sites where licensed wireless microphones are used, venues where large numbers of wireless microphones are used, and temporary BAS
links that are made during the trial period will be deleted by Telcordia after the trial. Parties will be able to register their MVPD receive sites, sites where licensed wireless microphones are used, and temporary BAS links in the database once general operation
of the database for use by TV band devices is approved and implemented. Parties responsible for venues where unlicensed wireless microphones are used will need to request registration approval by the Commission once the Commission’s process for that function
is activated. We encourage parties responsible for MVPD receive sites and licensed wireless microphone operations to enter trial registrations and make use of these capabilities in their testing of Telcordia’s database. OET will provide notice of,
and time for, affected parties to enter active registrations into Telcordia’s database during the process for final approval of the Telcordia database system for full operation. We also note that once one or more additional database systems are approved and
active, all registrations entered with a given database will be communicated to the other database(s) so that registrations will not need to be entered with multiple databases. Peter Ecclesine, Technology Analyst MS SJ-14-4 170 West Tasman Dr, San Jose, CA 95134-1706
