FCC Considers Issuing 1700MHz High Segment Spectrum
It is reported that FCC will discuss the possibility of releasing the 1700MHz high segment spectrum for flexible terrestrial wireless services at the next public meeting, as well as the proposal to provide 4GHz for the core satellite services. The conference is scheduled to be held in November 16th (Thursday).
FCC chairman Ajit Pai said in the network, the release of more spectrum resources are allocated last year 11GHz spectrum is used to make the ground wireless business decision based on flexible, it will become an important measure in the United States lead the world 5G innovation.
According to recent Committee documents, there is always a tension between terrestrial wireless services and satellite industry for the use of 24GHz bands. The more than 10 satellite projects have been submitted to the Committee for resolutions, and the goals are even more ambitious than the previous years. Although not all of the proposals can go through smoothly, many satellite proponents believe that 5G should include satellite services.
On the other hand, the T-Mobile Mobile Corporation is attacking the satellite industry and asking for more resources while limiting the use of mobile broadband spectrum. “Satellite companies, unlike ground broadband providers, are reluctant to gain access to spectrum rights through auctions. As one of the mobile broadband, satellite mobile broadband access to designated resources alone, this spectrum management mode is very bad." Verizon also urged FCC to reject the proposal of the satellite industry because it is not conducive to 5G deployment".
In October 19th, eight satellite companies including Boeing, OneWeb and Hughes, has submitted a revised proposal, called the proposal to solve the ground business concerns, to achieve the balance in the 28GHz and 39GHz band need to make FSS and UMFUS business, and puts forward a suitable for 47GHz and 50GHz band sharing system. One Web founder Greg Wyler also said that the spectrum resource is the cornerstone of the current business, not as a joke.
