📡Proposed Regulations on 37 GHz Band Spectrum and Emissions Limits
Lower 37 GHz Band and Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24 GHz for Mobile Radio Service
Summary
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks comment on three issues: adopting a more stringent emissions limit for Upper Microwave Flexible Use Service (UMFUS) operations above 37 GHz; whether the first phase of the coordination mechanism adopted in the companion final rule, published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, can be enhanced by consideration of additional factors; and whether it might be possible to replace the same coordination mechanism with a dynamic spectrum management system (DSMS). The Commission also proposes to correct an error in a power flux density (PFD) figure in one of its technical rules for UMFUS.

The regulatory text proposes stricter emissions limits for telecommunications services that could necessitate compliance adjustments by wireless providers and manufacturers. This could impact operational costs and equipment design. Additionally, the proposed framework for spectrum sharing could open new business opportunities in wireless services.
