  • the Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau: Introduction The State of Wyoming (``Wyoming'' or ``the State'') filed an application for authority to use eleven Part 22 frequency pairs in the 150 MHz band in varying combinations at eleven locations as part of a statewide narrowband digital trunked P-25 radio communications system called ``WyoLink.'' Wyoming seeks waiver of Sections 20.9(a)(6), 22.561, and 22.565(f) of the Commission's rules, to use frequencies not designated for public safety use, pursuant to Section 337(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act). By this Order, we grant Wyoming's request as conditioned herein. BACKGROUND Wyoming states that it needs to construct a new communications system (``Wyolink'') because its existing communications system is aging and

  • Section 20.9(a)(6) states that Part 22 Paging and Radiotelephone Services shall be treated as commercial radio services. Because the Commission has not designated Part 22 Channel Block FL for public safety use, Wisconsin requests waiver of Section 20.9(a)(6). In addition, to the extent Wisconsin seeks to use the frequencies ``only for internal, public safety purposes,'' it requires waiver of Section 22.561. This rule allocates the requested frequencies for paired assignment to transmitters that provide (or support transmitters that provide) one-way or two-way public land mobile service. Wisconsin seeks to ``upgrade a significantly limited and aging radio communications system.'' According to Wisconsin, its current system suffers equipment failure, ``preclude[s] network enhancements required to accommodate the expanding need for both voice and data

We note that on November 30, 2009, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announced an auction of paging licenses, which includes licenses for the same Channel Blocks and BEAs occupied by Wyoming. As with its previous waiver, Wyoming seeks waiver of Sections 20.9, 22.561 and 22.565 of the Commission's rules. As a part of our analysis under Section 337(c) of the Act, as well as the Commission's waiver criteria, we also seek comment on whether the 700 MHz public safety band would provide a viable alternative, particularly in light of the recent vacating of the band by broadcasters as part of the digital television

The general policy of the Commission is to assign one paging channel in an area to a carrier per application cycle.

  • Part 22, subpart E is organized into six groups of rules. The first (sections 22.501-22.529) is a group of rules applying to all PARS stations. Each of the subsequent five groups contains technical and operational rules pertaining only to a particular type of operation on specified channels. The types of operation are paging (sections 22.531-22.559), one- and two-way mobile (sections 22.561-22.589), point-to-point (sections 22.591-22.603), point-to-multipoint (sections 22.621-22.627), and trunked mobile operation (sections 22.651-22.659). Some of the PARS 454-459 MHz channels are shared with basic exchange telephone radio systems (providing Rural Radiotelephone Service) and potentially with non-geostationary low earth orbit (``Little LEO'') satellite downlinks. Purpose The purpose of subpart E is to facilitate the provision of commercial one-way and two-way wireless telecommunications

  • BETRS licensee that a secondary facility must be shut down because it may cause interference to the paging licensee's existing or planned facilities, the Rural Radiotelephone or BETRS licensee must discontinue use of the particular channel at that site no later than six months after such notice. 36. With respect to mobile telephone service on the two-way channels under Section 22.561, we do not believe these licensees should be exempt from the geographic area licensing process and competitive bidding. Two-way service primarily serves rural areas in the western part of the country, and typically does not conflict geographically with paging service. It would not be feasible to license the service on a county-by-county basis, as one commenter suggested, instead of EAs.
