Spectrum Requirements for Advanced Medical Technologies

This document establishes a new Medical Device Radiocommunication Service (MedRadio Service) of the Commission's rules. This new service incorporates the existing Medical Implant Communications Service (MICS) "core" band at 402-405 MHz, and also includes two megahertz of newly designated spectrum in the adjacent "wing" bands at 401-402 MHz and 405-406 MHz. The MedRadio Service will accommodate the operation of body-worn as well as implanted medical devices, including those using either listen-before-talk ("LBT") frequency monitoring or non-LBT spectrum access methods, in designated portions of the 401-406 MHz band.
