April 23, 2015 — The FCC is making 150 megahertz of contiguous spectrum available for mobile broadband and other uses through a spectrum sharing policy. The agency says it is creating a three-tiered commercial radio service spanning 3550 MHz – 3700 MHz. The goal is for wireless broadband providers to share the spectrum with military radars and other incumbent systems.
FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel stated, “With our work in the 3.5 GHz band, we leave behind the tired notion that we face a choice between licensed and unlicensed airwaves. That’s because we create new spectrum licenses custom-built for small cell deployments and at the same time open up more spectrum for unlicensed services—the jet-fuel of wireless innovation ” – catchy ending dictum there to liven up an otherwise bland statement. There is hope for the FCC yet.
And get this; Rosenworcel also said, “When it came to making commercial use of 3.5 GHZ, the consensus was that this was a junk band. But instead of discarding the band as junk, we got creative and as a result this spectrum is now fertile ground for innovative wireless uses.” Thumbs-up to the FCC!
