We propose not to adopt a frequency tolerance standard for the 37/42 GHz bands if we adopt a geographic area licensing framework, based on the same reasoning that we followed when establishing the 39 GHz rules. Moreover, we believe that the existing out-of-band emission requirements contained in Section 101.111 of our rules would also be sufficient to prevent harmful interference to licensees in adjacent areas and thus further obviate the need for a frequency tolerance standard in the 37/42 GHz bands.

Further, we propose to retain the frequency tolerance standard of 0.005% in Section 101.107 of our Rules, changing the maximum bandwidth in Section 101.109 of our Rules to reflect a value of 500 megahertz for MVDDS systems.

We modify the reference bandwidth in Section 101.111(a)(2)(iii) from 4 kHz to 1 MHz for consistency with Section 101.111(a)(2)(ii) and Appendix S3 of the International Radio Regulations.

The emission mask in paragraph (c)(1) would provide equipment manufacturers more flexibility in the design of equipment because it permits the out-of-band emissions to be attenuated at a slightly slower rate. Such flexibility can be gained without compromising the interference potential of these transmitters because we believe that the specified attenuation is sufficient to protect adjacent channel operations; For digital

Loea suggested that Part 101.111 provided appropriate emission limitations to protect adjacent bands from harmful interference. Similarly, the Joint Parties, Cisco (with modification), and WCAI supported the use of Part 101.111 for the 71-76 and 81-86 GHz bands. Discussion.

MDS America notes that while the Commission stated that the 500 megahertz MVDDS allocation could be divided into any size channels, it also adopted an emission mask equation with a maximum authorized bandwidth of 24 megahertz.
