Certification of Equipment in the 24.05-24.25 GHz band at Field Strengths up to 2500 mV/m

Resumo

By this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (``NPRM''), the Federal Communications Commission proposes to amend its rules to allow the operation of fixed point-to-point transmitters in the 24.05-24.25 GHz band at field strengths of up to 2500 mV/m, measured at 3 meters. Devices operating at these field strength levels will be required to use highly directionalized antennas to minimize the possibility of creating harmful interference to other services in the band. This action is taken in response to a Petition for Rulemaking (``Petition'') filed by Sierra Digital Communications, Inc. (``Sierra'').
