>>Carl,
>>
>>I vote No but will change my No to a Yes if my recommendations
>>listed below are implemented.
>>
>> My fundamentally concern is that,
>>
>>In this response to the FCC NPRM the IEEE is recommending to the
>>FCC that they place additional restrictions on IEEE 802 devices
>>above and beyond what the FCC is proposing in the NPRM.
>>
>>Special Protection for Part 74 Wireless Microphones
>>The FCC NPRM stated that because of the FM capture effect and a
>>strong received signal strength of the wireless microphones, "the
>>likelihood of interference from unlicensed device signals is
>>therefore low such that unlicensed use should generally be
>>compatible with wireless microphones", and imposes no further
>>restrictions on unlicensed 802-type devices.
>>However, the IEEE 802 response to the FCC NPRM recommends adding
>>the following requirements on Part 15 unlicensed devices:
>>
>>1. The Part 15 must be able to sense the operation of a Part 74 device
>>2. The Part 15 device must be able to sense the presence of a
>>yet-to-be defined beacon emitting from a Part 74 device
>>
>>It seems that the IEEE 802 is requesting additional restrictions be
>>placed upon its devices above and beyond those recommended in the
>>FCC NPRM. It does not seem like that is in the best interest of
>>IEEE 802.
>>Recommendation
>>Remove Paragraphs 26, 27, 36 and 37.
>>
>>Requirement for Professional Installation
>>The FCC NPRM proposes two installation methods for the fixed/access class:
>>
>>1. Geolocation coupled with database access
>>2. Professional installation
>>
>>In paragraph 25 of the IEEE response to the FCC NPRM it states that
>>GPS may be the most practical means of protecting Part 90 devices.
>>However, the title of paragraph 28 states that professional
>>installation is required and does not allow for GPS with database
>>access as an alternative mechanism. Once again the IEEE is
>>recommending that the FCC place additional requirements on Part 15
>>devices above and beyond those recommended in the FCC NPRM.
>>Recommendation
>>The following words should be added to the beginning of Paragraph
>>28: "In instances where geolocation with database access is not
>>used, ". These same words should also be added to the end of the
>>heading immediately preceding Paragraph 28.
>>
>>Regards,
>>Steve
