  • addressed this concern through their agreement that Sprint will avoid use of the TARS channels in the area and will provide ongoing monitoring and testing to protect TARS from harmful interference by any commercial operation in the vicinity. We also require Sprint to afford full interference protection to TARS on its current channels applying the standard set forth in Section 90.672 of the Commission's rules. In sum, we find that the cost and disruption associated with rebanding TARS outweighs the potential benefit, particularly in light of the fact that TARS is only scheduled to be active until 2013.

For example, as noted in the National Broadband Plan, broadband operations using SMR spectrum have not been shown to be viable pending completion of 800 MHz rebanding, given the interference protection provided to neighboring public safety operations.839In addition, the 838Seefootnote 336, infra. 839See National Broadband Plan, Chapter 5 n. 63; 47 CFR § 90.672. - 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Verizon Wireless AT&T Sprint Nextel Clearwire* T-Mobile MetroPCS US Cellular Leap Other MHz -Pops (Billions) EBS BRS AWS PCS SMR Cellular 700 MHz 9832 Federal Communications Commission FCC 11-103 commercial SMR spectrum in the 900 MHz band currently is interleaved with Business/Industrial/Land Transportation services, and thus is better suited for narrowband

  • in Part 90. For example, licensees must continue to meet the OOBE requirement in Section 90.691 on the outer channels of the licensee's block and the interior channels of the licensee's block adjacent to channels occupied by incumbent licensees. EA-based 800 MHz SMR licensees also must abide by strict protections against unacceptable interference to non-cellular 800 MHz licensees under Section 90.672. As noted, EA-based 800 MHz SMR licensees must continue to meet the co-channel separation requirements in Section 90.621. Additionally, EA-based 800 MHz SMR licensees are strictly responsible for abating any unacceptable interference under Section 90.673, and must comply with the interference resolution procedures under Section 90.674. EWA suggests we clarify the applicability of the rule change adopted in this Report
