Dear 802.18 members,
cc. 802.11, 802.15, 802.19 members,
In the upcoming United States FCC
January 2024 open commission meeting, there is a tentative agenda item "Modernizing and Expanding Access to the 70/80/90 GHz Bands".
As shown in the draft, this proposed Report & Order:
- Adopts rules to allow for point-to-point links to endpoints in motion in the 70 GHz and 80 GHz bands under the part 101 rules, covering: (1) in the aeronautical space, ground-to-air and air-to-ground transmissions between ground stations and aircraft, and air-to-air transmission between aircraft in flight; and (2) in the maritime space, ship-to-shore, shore-to-ship, aerostat-to-ship, and aerostat-to-shore transmissions.
- Adopts changes to FCC rules to facilitate the use of the 70 and 80 GHz bands for backhaul, including through the use of smaller antennas and through adoption of a channelization plan consistent with Recommendation ITU-R F.2006.
- Adopts rules to improve the accuracy of the link registration database for the 70/80/90 GHz bands, including a requirement that licensees certify that each link is constructed and operating within 12 months of successful registration in the link registration system.
