    So looked at the Ligado language from the NDAA. Short version, not only is this not a "Ligado killer," it's not even a grazing wound. But while Ligado dodged a bullet, GPS still has a gun. OTOH, if GPS can't win on their home turf . . . /1

    When it comes to the real threat Huawei poses to 5G security, the US drew a line in the sand. Encouraging to see the UK follow suit.

    A year ago both Democrat Commissioners, Geoffrey Starks and Jessica Rosenworcel were cheerleaders for 5.9 GHz, but because one Senator objects at the 11th hour they call for delay. This is bold leadership we can expect from the next FCC.

    . coming in with the facts re 5.9 GHz. The FCC’s bipartisan and balanced approach not only promotes WiFi but also adds much needed density to our wireless networks.

    The idea that enabling next generation WiFi (which has the support of every Republican and Democrat member of the FCC) is completely laughable. The only people opposing this effort are bureaucrats at the Department of Transportation who wasted 20 years on unworkable technology.

    To protect this “incredibly valuable treasure,” the FCC created a massive 23 MHz guard band between operations & GPS signals, & mandated both a repair and replace protocol & a 24/7 operational stop buzzer to protect GPS devices. So...there’s that.

    : “The ’s flawed decision is wrong-headed, astonishing and dangerous... The FCC has failed to protect GPS—an incredibly valuable treasure.”

    Time has come to fix 5.9 GHz! After 5 1/2 years since and my first blog & umpteen panels, speeches, op-eds, and more blogs — separately and jointly — Commission will open 45 MHz for unlicensed services in band. So pleased agreed to move on this.

    For far too long this spectrum has been incredibly underused. The FCC’s actions in 5.9 GHz will increase density to our networks, create a more contiguous WiFi band, and add even more competition to the wireless market.

    🚨NEWS: announces proposal to modernize the 5.9 GHz band. New rules would free up 45 MHz of prime spectrum for WiFi and other unlicensed use while allocating 30 MHz for next-gen auto safety technology, Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X).
