BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

“Over the last five years, the Committee consistently raised concerns about the impact of out-of-band emissions (OOBE) from licensees using spectrum between 24.25-25.25 GHz on passive satellite operations in the 23.6-24 GHz band. We support efforts by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to conform domestic regulations with OOBE limits articulated in Resolution 750 and agreed upon at the 2019 World Radio Conference to protect the passive observations in the 23.6-24 GHz band.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

We thank you for examining these technical questions carefully in the Commission’s efforts to craft a final rule that is adequately protective of the Earth Exploration Satellite Service (EESS). We note that the issues associated with the 24 GHz band are not unique as the FCC is considering additional spectrum auctions that could affect other bands currently protected for scientific purposes and used by federal agencies.”
