>>>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
