Implementation of Sections 309(j) and 337 of the Communications Act of 1934 as Amended and Promotion of Spectrum Efficient Technologies on Certain Part 90 Frequencies

Riepilogo

In this document the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) provides public notice that it is considering adopting new rules related to promoting spectrum efficiency for private land mobile radio services (PLMRS), and is seeking public comment. The FCC seeks comment on whether existing equipment certification requirements are sufficient to promote migration to one voice path per 6.25 kHz bandwidth or equivalent technology, or whether migration to 6.25 kHz bandwidth or equivalent technology should be mandatory. The FCC seeks comment on its tentative conclusion that in order to facilitate migration to 6.25 kHz technology, it should take regulatory actions similar to the ones it has taken to facilitate the migration to 12.5 kHz technology. The FCC also seeks comment on the date(s) by which licensees would be required to migrate to 6.25 kHz technology and to have taken any other related compliance actions, in the event a new requirement were adopted mandating migration to 6.25 kHz. The FCC seeks public comment in an effort to fully understand the issues associated with a migration to 6.25 kHz technology and, within the same context, to fully understand what, if anything can be learned
