FCC Proposes New Wireless Microphone System for TV Bands

Summary

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing to allow a new type of wireless microphone system, called Wireless Multi-Channel Audio System (WMAS), to operate in certain TV bands, aiming to increase the efficiency of wireless microphones and promote spectrum use. The proposed changes would also update rules for low-power auxiliary station devices and wireless microphones to reflect the end of the post-Incentive auction transition period.
