point-to-point licensees can also use these frequencies on a site by site
basis.
(32) Frequencies in this band are shared with stations in the
fixed-satellite service, subject to the conditions specified in footnote 15
of Sec. 25.202(a)(1) of this chapter, see 47 CFR 47 25.202(a)(1) n.16.
(b) Frequencies normally available for assignment in this service are set
forth with applicable limitations in the following tables: 928–960 MHz
Multiple address system (MAS) frequencies are available for the
point-to-multipoint and point-to-point transmission of a licensee's products
or services, excluding video entertainment material, to a licensee's
customer or for its own internal communications. The paired frequencies
listed in this section are used for two-way communications between a master
station and remote stations. Ancillary one-way communications on paired
frequencies are permitted on a case-by-case basis. Ancillary communications
between interrelated master stations are permitted on a secondary basis. The
normal channel bandwidth assigned will be 12.5 kHz. EA licensees, however,
may combine contiguous channels without limit or justification. Site-based
licensees may combine contiguous channels up to 50 kHz, and more than 50 kHz
only upon a showing of adequate justification. Any bandwidth (12.5 kHz, 25
kHz or greater) authorized in accordance with this section may be subdivided
into narrower bandwidths to create additional (or sub) frequencies without
the need to specify each discrete frequency within the specific bandwidth.
Equipment that is used to create additional frequencies by narrowing
bandwidth (whether authorized for a 12.5 kHz, 25 kHz or greater bandwidth)
will be required to meet, at a minimum, the 0.00015 percent tolerance
requirement so that all subfrequencies will be within the emission mask.
Systems licensed for frequencies in these MAS bands prior to August 1, 1975,
may continue to operate as authorized until June 11, 1996, at which time
they must comply with current MAS operations based on the 12.5 kHz
channelization set forth in this paragraph. Systems licensed between August
1, 1975, and January 1, 1981, inclusive, are required to comply with the
grandfathered 25 kHz standard bandwidth and channelization requirements set
forth in this paragraph. Systems originally licensed after January 1, 1981,
and on or before May 11, 1988, with bandwidths of 25 kHz and above, will be
grandfathered indefinitely.
Note to paragraph(b)introductory text: Paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) and
Tables 1 through 7 of this section pertain to Multiple Address System (MAS)
frequencies and paragraph (b)(6) and Tables 8 through 11 of this section
pertain to Point-To-Point frequencies.
(1) Frequencies listed in this paragraph are designated for private internal
use and are subject to site-based licensing.

(p) 12,000–12,700 MHz. The Commission has allocated the 12.2–12.7 GHz band
for use by the Direct Broadcast Satellite Service (DBS), the Multichannel
Video Distribution and Data Service (MVDDS), and the Non-Geostationary
Satellite Orbit Fixed Satellite Service (NGSO FSS). MVDDS shall be licensed
on a non-harmful interference co-primary basis to existing DBS operations
and on a co-primary basis with NGSO FSS stations in this band. MVDDS use can
be on a common carrier and/or non-common carrier basis and can use channels
of any desired bandwidth up to the maximum of 500 MHz provided the EIRP does
not exceed 14 dBm per 24 megahertz. Private operational fixed point-to-point
microwave stations authorized after September 9, 1983, are licensed on a
non-harmful interference basis to DBS and are required to make any and all
adjustments necessary to prevent harmful interference to operating domestic
DBS receivers. Incumbent public safety licensees shall be afforded
protection from MVDDS and NGSO FSS licensees, however all other private
operational fixed licensees shall be secondary to DBS, MVDDS and NGSO FSS
licensees. As of May 23, 2002, the Commission no longer accepts applications
for new licenses for point-to-point private operational fixed stations in
this band, however, incumbent licensees and previously filed applicants may
file applications for minor modifications and amendments (as defined in
Sec. 1.929 of this chapter) thereto, renewals, transfer of control, or
assignment of license. Notwithstanding any other provisions, no private
operational fixed point-to-point microwave stations are permitted to cause
harmful interference to broadcasting-satellite stations of other countries
operating in accordance with the Region 2 plan for the
Broadcasting-Satellite Service established at the 1983 WARC.
(q) Special provisions for incumbent low power, limited coverage systems in
the band segments 12.2–12.7 GHz.
(1) As of May 23, 2002, the Commission no longer accepts applications for
new stations in this service and incumbent stations may remain in service
provided they do not cause harmful interference to any other primary
services licensed in this band as described in paragraph (p) of this
section. However, incumbent licensees and previously filed applicants may
file applications for minor modifications and amendments (as defined in
Sec. 1.929 of this chapter) thereto, renewals, transfer of control, or
assignment of license.
(2) Prior to December 8, 2000, notwithstanding any contrary provisions in
this part, the frequency pairs 12.220/12.460 GHz, 12.260/12.500 GHz,
12.300/12.540 GHz and 12.340/12.580 GHz, were authorized for low power,
limited coverage systems subject to the following provisions:
(i) Maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) shall be 55 dBm;
(ii) The rated transmitter output power shall not exceed 0.5 watts;
(iii) Frequency tolerance shall be maintained to within 0.01 percent of the
assigned frequency;
(iv) Maximum beamwidth shall not exceed 4 degrees. However, the sidelobe
suppression criteria contained in Sec. 101.115 shall not apply, except that a
minimum front-to-back ratio of 38 dB shall apply;
(v) Upon showing of need, a maximum bandwidth of 12 MHz may be authorized
per frequency assigned;
(vi) Radio systems authorized under the provisions of this section shall
have no more than three hops in tandem, except upon showing of need, but in
any event the maximum tandem length shall not exceed 40 km (25 miles);
(vii) Interfering signals at the receiver antenna terminals of stations
authorized under this section shall not exceed –90 dBm and –70 dBm
respectively, for co-channel and adjacent channel interfering signals, and
(viii) Stations authorized under the provisions of this section shall
provide the protection from interference specified in Sec. 101.105 to stations
operating in accordance with the provisions of this part.
(r) 17,700 to 19,700 and 24,250 to 25,250 MHz: Operation of stations using
frequencies in these bands is permitted to the extent specified in this
paragraph. Until November 19, 2012, stations operating in the band
18.3–18.58 GHz that were licensed or had applications pending before the
Commission as of November 19, 2002 shall operate on a shared co-primary
basis with other services under parts 21, 25, 74, and 78 of this chapter.
Until October 31, 2011, operations in the band 19.26–19.3 GHz and low power
systems operating pursuant to paragraph (r)(10) of this section shall
operate on a co-primary basis. Until June 8, 2010, stations operating in the
band 18.58–18.8 GHz that were licensed or had applications pending before
the Commission as of June 8, 2000 may continue those operations on a shared
co-primary basis with other services under parts 21, 25, 74, and 78 of this
chapter. Until June 8, 2010, stations operating in the band 18.8–19.3 GHz
that were licensed or had applications pending before the Commission as of
September 18, 1998 may continue those operations on a shared co-primary
basis with other services under parts 21, 25, 74, and 78 of this chapter.
After November 19, 2012, stations operating in the band 18.3–18.58 GHz are
not entitled to protection from fixed-satellite service operations and must
not cause unacceptable interference to fixed-satellite service station
operations. After June 8, 2010, operations in the 18.58–19.30 GHz band are
not entitled to protection from fixed-satellite service operations and must
not cause unacceptable interference to fixed-satellite service station
operations. After November 19, 2002, no applications for new stations for 47
CFR part 101 licenses will be accepted in the 18.3–18.58 GHz band. After
June 8, 2000, no applications for new stations for 47 CFR part 101 licenses
will be accepted in the 18.58–19.3 GHz band. Licensees, except 24 GHz band
licensees, may use either a two-way link or one frequency of a frequency
pair for a one-way link and must coordinate proposed operations pursuant to
the procedures required in Sec. 101.103 of this subpart. (Note, however, that
stations authorized as of September 9, 1983, to use frequencies in the band
17.7–19.7 GHz may, upon proper application, continue to be authorized for
such operations, consistent with the above conditions related to the
18.58–19.3 GHz band.) Applicants for one-way spectrum from 17.7–18.58 GHz
for multichannel video programming distribution are governed by paragraph
(r)(6) of this section. Licensees are also allowed to use one-way (unpaired)
channels in the 17.7–17.74 GHz sub-band to pair with other channels in the
FS portions of the 18 GHz band where, for example, the return pair is
already in use and therefore blocked or in TDD systems. Stations used for
MVPD operations in the 17.7–17.8 GHz band must coordinate with the Federal
Government before operating in the zones specified in Sec. 1.924(e) of this
chapter.

(6) MVPD use: Multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) can use
any size channels for one-way operations in the 17.7–18.58 GHz band for any
permissible communications specified for this band in Sec. 101.603 provided that
they have coordinated the appropriate emission designators and power, but
must request contiguous spectrum (minus spectrum that is already licensed or
prior coordinated in the area and thus blocked). MVPD systems must meet the
efficiency requirements of Sec. 101.141. Spectrum at 18.3–18.58 GHz is only
available for grandfathered stations. See Sec. 101.85.

(13) The following frequencies on channels 35–39 are available for
point-to-multipoint systems and are available by geographic area licensing
in the 24 GHz Service to be used as the licensee desires. The 24 GHz
spectrum can be aggregated or disaggregated and does not have to be used in
the transmit/receive manner shown except to comply with international
agreements along the U.S. borders. Channels 35 through 39 are licensed in
the 24 GHz Service by Economic Areas for any digital fixed service. Channels
may be used at either nodal or subscriber station locations for transmit or
receive but must be coordinated with adjacent channel and adjacent area
users in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 101.509 of this subpart.

(14) Special provision for low power systems in the 17,700–19,700 MHz band:
Notwithstanding other provisions in 47 CFR part 101 and except for specified
areas around Washington, DC, and Denver, Colorado, licensees of
point-to-multipoint channel pairs 25–29 identified in paragraph (r)(13) of
this section may continue to operate in accordance with the requirements of
Sec. 101.85 and may operate multiple low power transmitting devices within a
defined service area. Operations are prohibited within 55 km when used
outdoor and within 20 km when used indoor of the coordinates 38 deg.48' N/76
deg.52' W (Washington, DC area) and 39 deg.43' N/104 deg.46' W (Denver,
Colorado area). The service area will be a 28 kilometer omni directional
radius originating from specified center reference coordinates. The
specified center coordinates must be no closer than 56 kilometers from any
co-channel nodal station or the specified center coordinates of another
co-channel system. Applicants/licensees do not need to specify the location
of each individual transmitting device operating within their defined
service areas. Such operations are subject to the following requirements on
the low power transmitting devices:
(i) Power must not exceed one watt EIRP and 100 milliwatts transmitter
output power;
(ii) A frequency tolerance of 0.001% must be maintained; and
(iii) The mean power of emissions shall be attenuated in accordance with the
following schedule:
(A) In any 4 kHz band, the center frequency of which is removed from the
center frequency of the assigned channel by more than 50 percent of the
channel bandwidth and is within the bands 18,820–18,870 MHz or 19,160–19,210
MHz:
A = 35 + .003 (F−0.5B) dB
or,
80 dB (whichever is the lesser attenuation).
Where:
A = Attenuation (in decibels) below output power level contained within the
channel for a given polarization.
B = Bandwidth of channel in kHz.
F = Absolute value of the difference between the center frequency of the 4
kHz band measured at the center frequency of the channel in kHz.
(B) In any 4 kHz band the center frequency of which is outside the bands
18.820–18.870 GHz: At least 43 + 10 log P (mean output power in watts)
decibels.
(iv) Low power stations authorized in the band 18.8–19.3 GHz after June 8,
2000, are restricted to indoor use only. No new licenses will be authorized
for applications received after April 1, 2002.

power, limited coverage systems subject to the following provisions:
(i) The maximum EIRP shall be 55 dBm and the rated transmitter output power
shall not exceed 0.100 Watts;
(ii) In the band segments from 21.8–22.0 GHz and 23.0–23.2 GHz, the
frequency tolerance for stations authorized on or before April 1, 2005 is
0.05%. Existing licensees and pending applicants on that date may continue
to operate after that date with a frequency tolerance of 0.05%, provided
that it does not cause harmful interference to the operation of any other
licensee. The frequency tolerance of Sec. 101.107(a) shall apply to stations
applied for after April 1, 2005;
(iii) The maximum beamwidth shall not exceed 4 degrees;

shall not apply, except that a minimum front-to-back ratio of 38 dB shall
apply;
(v) Upon showing of need, a maximum bandwidth of 50 MHz may be authorized
per frequency assigned;
(vi) Radio systems authorized under the provisions of this section shall
have no more than five hops in tandem, except upon showing of need, but in
any event the maximum tandem length shall not exceed 40 km (25 miles);
(vii) Interfering signals at the antenna terminals of station authorized
under this section shall not exceed –90 dBm and –70 dBm respectively, for
co-channel and adjacent channel interfering signals; and
(viii) Stations authorized under the provisions of this section shall
provide the protection from interference specified in Sec. 101.105 to stations
operating in accordance with the provisions of this part.
(t) 27,500–28,350; 29,100–29,250; 31,000–31,300 MHz. These frequencies are
available for LMDS systems. Each assignment will be made on a BTA service
area basis, and the assigned spectrum may be subdivided as desired by the
licensee.
(u) 31,000–31,300 MHz. Stations licensed in this band prior to March 11,
1997, may continue their authorized operations, subject to license renewal,
on the condition that harmful interference will not be caused to LMDS
operations licensed in this band after June 30, 1997. Non-LMDS stations
licensed after March 11, 1997, based on applications refiled no later than
June 26, 1998 are unprotected and subject to harmful interference from each
other and from stations licensed prior to March 11,( 1997, and are licensed
on a secondary basis to LMDS. In the sub-bands 31,000–31,075 MHz and
31,225–31,300 MHz, stations initially licensed prior to March 11, 1997,
except in LTTS, and LMDS operations authorized after June 30, 1997, are
equally protected against harmful interference from each other in accordance
with the provisions of Sec. 101.103(b). For stations, except in LTTS, permitted
to relocate to these sub-bands, the following paired frequencies are
available:
Transmit (receive) (MHz) Receive (transmit) (MHz)
(1) 25 MHz Authorized Bandwidth Channels
31,012.5 31,237.5

(2) 75 MHz Authorized Bandwidth Channel
31,037.5 31,275.0
Note to(u): These channels are assigned for use within a rectangular service
area to be described in the application by the maximum and minimum latitudes
and longitudes. Such service area must be as small as practical consistent
with the local service requirements of the carrier. These frequency plans
may be subdivided as desired by the licensee and used within the service
area as desired without further authorization subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in Sec. 101.149. These frequencies may be assigned only
where it is shown that the applicant will have reasonable projected
requirements for a multiplicity of service points or transmission paths
within the area.
(v)(1) Assignments in the band 38,600–40,000 MHz must be according to the
following frequency plan:
Channel Group A Channel Group B

outside a feeder link earth station complex protection zone shall cooperate
fully and make reasonable efforts to resolve technical problems with the
non-GSO MSS licensee to the extent that transmissions from the non-GSO MSS
operator's feeder link earth station complex interfere with an LMDS receive
station.
(2) No more than 15 days after the release of a public notice announcing the
commencement of LMDS auctions, feeder link earth station complexes to be
licensed pursuant to Section 25.257 shall be specified by a set of
geographic coordinates in accordance with the following requirements: no
feeder link earth station complex may be located in the top eight (8)
metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”), ranked by population, as defined by
the Office of Management and Budget as of June 1993, using estimated
populations as of December 1992; two (2) complexes may be located in MSAs 9
through 25, one of which must be Phoenix, AZ (for a complex at Chandler,
AZ); two (2) complexes may be located in MSAs 26 to 50; three (3) complexes
may be located in MSAs 51 to 100, one of which must be Honolulu, Hawaii (for
a complex at Waimea); and the three (3) remaining complexes must be located
at least 75 nautical miles from the borders of the 100 largest MSAs or in
any MSA not included in the 100 largest MSAs. Any location allotted for one
range of MSAs may be taken from an MSA below that range.
(3)(i) Any non-GSO MSS licensee may at any time specify sets of geographic
coordinates for feeder link earth station complexes with each earth station
contained therein to be located at least 75 nautical miles from the borders
of the 100 largest MSAs.
(ii) For purposes of paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section, non-GSO MSS feeder
link earth station complexes shall be entitled to accommodation only if the
affected non-GSO MSS licensee preapplies to the Commission for a feeder link
earth station complex or certifies to the Commission within sixty days of
receiving a copy of an LMDS application that it intends to file an
application for a feeder link earth station complex within six months of the
date of receipt of the LMDS application.
(iii) If said non-GSO MSS licensee application is filed later than six
months after certification to the Commission, the LMDS and non-GSO MSS
entities shall still cooperate fully and make reasonable efforts to resolve
technical problems, but the LMDS licensee shall not be obligated to
re-engineer its proposal or make changes to its system.
(4) LMDS licensees or applicants proposing to operate hub stations on
frequencies in the 29.1–29.25 GHz band at locations outside of the 100
largest MSAs or within a distance of 150 nautical miles from a set of
geographic coordinates specified under paragraph (c)(2) or (c)(3)(i) of this
section shall serve copies of their applications on all non-GSO MSS
applicants, permitees or licensees meeting the criteria specified in
Sec. 25.257(a). Non-GSO MSS licensees or applicants shall serve copies of their
feeder link earth station applications, after the LMDS auction, on any LMDS
applicant or licensee within a distance of 150 nautical miles from the
geographic coordinates that it specified under paragraph (c)(2) or (c)(3)(i)
of this section. Any necessary coordination shall commence upon notification
by the party receiving an application to the party who filed the
application. The results of any such coordination shall be reported to the
Commission within sixty days. The non-GSO MSS earth station licensee shall
also provide all such LMDS licensees with a copy of its channel plan.
(z) 71,000–76,000 MHz; 81,000–86,000 MHz; 92,000–94,000 MHz; 94,100–95,000
MHz. (1) Those applicants who are approved in accordance with FCC Form 601
will each be granted a single, non-exclusive nationwide license.
Site-by-site registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration will be in the Universal Licensing System until the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau announces by public notice, the implementation of
a third-party database. See 47 CFR 101.1523. Links may not operate until
NTIA approval is received. Licensees may use these bands for any
point-to-point non-broadcast service.
(2) Prior links shall be protected using the interference protection
criteria set forth in section 101.105. For transmitters employing digital
modulation techniques and operating in the 71,000–76,000 MHz or
81,000–86,000 MHz bands, the licensee must construct a system that meets a
minimum bit rate of 0.125 bits per second per Hertz of bandwidth. For
transmitters that operate in the 92,000–94,000 MHz or 94,100–95,000 MHz
bands, licensees must construct a system that meets a minimum bit rate of
1.0 bit per second per Hertz of bandwidth. If it is determined that a
licensee has not met these loading requirements, then the database will be
modified to limit coordination rights to the spectrum that is loaded and the
licensee will lose protection rights on spectrum that has not been loaded.
