    Emerging Technologies and Their Expected Impact on Non-Federal Spectrum Demand

    EMERGING TECHNOLOGIE S AND THEIR EXPECTED IMPACT ON NON-FEDERAL SPECTRUM DEMAND May 2019 EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR EXPECTED IMPACT ON NON-FEDERAL SPECTRUM DEMAND Mr. President: Wireless technology has the power to drive our economy, protect national security, and improve the lives of Americans in ways that are still being discovered. As a result of our Nation’s leadership in 4G, we increased GDP by $100 billion in 2016, created more jobs, lowered consumer costs, and ensured that the United States was the home to the entrepreneurial revolution of advanced wireless applications. 5G networks can move massive amounts of data at exponentially faster speeds than existing 4G LTE networks, and will ensure American job growth, improve national security, and ensure American technological leadership in the 21st century. However, as our nation continues to innovate and create devices that are more capable, the demand for spectrum increases as well. To reap the benefits of 5G and the networks of the future, the Nation must have a forward-looking strategic policy to make spectrum use more efficient and make more spectrum available. In your October 25, 2018 Presidential Memorandum, “Developing a Sustainable Spectrum Strategy for America’s Future,” you directed The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop a report on emerging technologies and their expected impact on non-Federal spectrum demand. The attached report examines the foundation of 5G technologies and the critical importance of leveraging such technologies to expedite rollout of 5G networks, details the spectrum requirements of 5G and Wi- Fi, and reviews recent and ongoing activities across the government to meet the spectrum demand.

    MVDDS UAE Press Release

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Allen Quinn MDS America 772-341-7441 [email protected] MDS AMERICA FINISHES INSTALLATION OF NEXT PHASE OF MAJOR PROJECT IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES System providing advanced Cable Television service wirelessly throughout the UAE: MDSA built system is the largest wireless data distribution system anywhere in the world. Stuart, FL, Jan 15, 2010 – MDS America, Inc., the premier MVDDS company, which builds systems for the high-speed wireless broadband delivery of video and Internet data by terrestrial transmission (MVDDS), today announced its completion of the latest phase of its build out of the wireless Cable Television system in the United Arab Emirates. “This system, to our knowledge, is the highest capacity wireless system ever built having a capacity of over 700 digital Television channels,” said Kirk Kirkpatrick, President and CEO of MDS America. “This system continues to build on our recent developments in keeping the reliability equal with that of cable.” This terrestrial transmission system is designated Multi-Channel Video and Data Distribution Service (MVDDS) in the United States. With wireless spectrum becoming increasingly scarce, terrestrial use of spectrum is becomes more and more important. MVDDS, which has a 500 mHz bandwidth allocation in the US, has the potential to revolutionize fixed and mobile data delivery. The technology from MDS America has been in use around the world outside of the United States for several years. MDS America equipment has been deployed on three continents. About MDS America MDS America, Inc., is the premier builder of MVDDS systems for high-speed wireless broadband delivery of video and Internet data by terrestrial transmission for customers worldwide.
