FCC Comment Deadlines Set on 5.9 GHz Public Notice

Initial comments on the FCC’s 5.9 GHz record refresh public notice are expected to be due July 7 at the FCC, based on a notice slated to be published Tuesday in the Federal Register. The FCC released the notice last week (see 1606010067). Comments in docket 13-49 are due 30 days after publication, replies 15 days later. Disagreements remain about how the band can be shared between Wi-Fi and dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) systems designed to prevent motor vehicle accidents (see 1605260059).
