Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C
BEFORE THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Request for Declaratory Ruling That the ) WT Docket No. 11-110 Commission’s Rules Authorize Greater ) Than 25 kHz Bandwidth Operations in ) the 800 MHz ESMR Band ) ) To: Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau COMMENTS OF SOUTHERNLINC WIRELESS Southern Communications Services, Inc. d/b/a SouthernLINC Wireless (“SouthernLINC Wireless”) hereby submits its comments in support of the Petition for Declaratory Ruling filed on June 3, 2011, by Sprint Nextel Corporation (“Sprint Nextel”) to allow larger than 25 kHz bandwidth operations in the 800 MHz Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio Service (“ESMR”) band.1 SouthernLINC Wireless urges the Commission to grant the Petition and declare that licensees in the ESMR band may deploy and operate technologies that require greater than 25 kHz bandwidth on the 800 MHz spectrum authorized by their Economic Area (“EA”) licenses. The requested declaratory ruling would be technology-neutral as it would provide licensees in the ESMR band with the ability to deploy and operate the mobile wireless technology of their choice, including 3G technologies such as CDMA and 4G technologies such as LTE. 1 / “Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Seeks Comment on Petition From Sprint Nextel to Allow Wideband Operations In 800 MHz Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio Service Bands, WT Docket No. 11-110, Public Notice, DA 11-1152 (rel. June 30, 2011) (“Public Notice”). Significantly, the requested ruling would promote regulatory parity among CMRS providers and encourage the competitive deployment and greater availability of mobile broadband technologies and services for US consumers. SouthernLINC Wireless emphasizes, however, that the requested ruling must expressly apply to all EA-licensed ESMR frequencies, including those in the expanded ESMR band in the southeastern United States – i.e., the 813.5-824/858.5-869 MHz band. -
Facilitating 5G in the 3.45-3.55 Ghz Band Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - WT Docket No
September 9, 2020 FACT SHEET* Facilitating 5G in the 3.45-3.55 GHz Band Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - WT Docket No. 19-348 Background: The Commission has acted quickly in recent years to meet the growing demand for mid- band spectrum for 5G. Last month, the FCC concluded an auction of 70 megahertz of Priority Access Licenses in the 3.5 GHz band, and on December 8, the Commission will begin an auction of 280 megahertz of spectrum in the 3.7 GHz band in the adjacent C-band. In the MOBILE NOW Act, Congress directed the Commission to identify spectrum for new mobile and fixed wireless broadband use, and to work with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to evaluate whether commercial wireless services and federal incumbents could share use of spectrum between 3.1 and 3.55 GHz. In December 2019, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to remove the non-federal allocations from the 3.3-3.55 GHz band and seeking comment on relocating incumbent non-federal operations out of the band, in order to prepare it for possible commercial use. Last month, the White House and the Department of Defense announced plans to allow for commercial 5G systems to operate in the 3.45-3.55 GHz band throughout almost all of the contiguous U.S. What the Order Would Do: • Eliminate the non-federal radiolocation service allocation in the 3.3-3.55 GHz band and the non- federal amateur allocation in the 3.3-3.5 GHz band but allow incumbent licensees to continue operating in the 3.45-3.55 GHz band until a future date; • Relocate non-federal radiolocation licensees to the 2.9-3.0 GHz band, allowing them to continue operating on a secondary basis to federal operations, consistent with current allocations; and • Allow amateur licensees to individually determine appropriate alternate spectrum from existing available spectrum allocations. -

February 24, 2021 FACT SHEET* Facilitating Shared Use in the 3.1-3.55 GHz Band Second Report and Order, Order on Reconsideration, and Order of Proposed Modification, WT Docket No. 19-348 Background The Beat China by Harnessing Important, National Airwaves for 5G Act of 2020, which was included in the Fiscal Year 2021 omnibus spending bill, requires the Commission to work with its Federal partners to bring all of the 3.45 GHz band spectrum to market for next-generation wireless use through a system of competitive bidding by December 31, 2021. Beginning the implementation of this Congressional mandate, this item reallocates 100 megahertz in the 3.45 GHz band for flexible use wireless services and adopt rules to implement the new 3.45 GHz Service, The framework adopted for the 3.45 GHz band will enable full-power commercial use and provide flexibility to future licensees in deploying their networks in this band, while also ensuring that federal incumbents are still protected where and when they require continued access to the band. What the Second Report and Order Would Do: • Make 100 megahertz of spectrum in the 3.45 GHz band available for flexible use wireless services throughout the contiguous United States; • Add a co-primary, non-federal fixed and mobile (except aeronautical mobile) allocation to the band; • Create a regime to coordinate non-federal and federal use of spectrum by adopting Cooperative Planning Areas and Periodic Use Areas and establishing coordination procedures; • Adopt a band plan and technical, licensing, and competitive -
