SIA Wants More Time for Comments on 24 GHz Proceeding

The Satellite Industry Association requested an extension of time for the comment period on whether to create service rules for the 42-43.5 GHz band. SIA asked for a 30-day extension to Jan. 15 for initial comments, and Feb. 17 for replies, said its request, posted Wednesday in RM-11664. This would allow SIA and its members to better prepare a thorough, fact-based response to the FCC’s questions in the notice of inquiry, it said. Looking at one band for spectrum sharing with widely deployed mobile wireless services requires extensive analysis and review, SIA said. The FCC is seeking comment on multiple bands across a broad range of radio spectrum, it said.
