NCTA Fully Engaged on Wi-Fi Sharing of 5.9 GHz Band

With the FCC poised to take a deep dive on sharing the 5.9 GHz band between Wi-Fi and auto companies (see 1601120055), NCTA said in a blog post Friday that it sees the use of the band as critical. “We’re working hard alongside technology companies, broadband providers, and consumers to encourage the FCC to work quickly, and to enter a collaborative testing process aimed at finding a win-win solution,” the cable association said. “We can all enjoy a future of fast, innovative, widely accessible broadband access. Meaningful sharing of the 5.9 GHz band would be a crucial step forward.”
