Demands of New Guidelines and Ecosystem

A new global trend for the 3.5 GHz band is emerging due to the recent FCC Report and Order opening up 150 MHz for shared access in the 3550-3700 MHz band to wireless broadband service providers, industrial users, and other federal/non-federal users. This is a significant operational change for the 3.5 GHz wireless broadband community, critical infrastructure players, and specifically WiMAX deployments, which demand solid guidelines, policies, and industry support to have adequate protection. The WiMAX Forum Smart Energy Working Group (SEWG) has been closely monitoring this activity and is working closely with ecosystem players to develop such guidelines so 3.5 GHz users can continue to leverage this band. SEWG’s daily interactions with the FCC and other rule makers have perfectly positioned SEWG at the heart of the 3.5 GHz band policy-making debate and Spectrum Access System (SAS) development.
