Iota Eager to Move Forward on Narrowband IoT Network

Executives from Iota met with aides to Chairman Ajit Pai to discuss the company’s plans for a narrowband IoT network using specialized mobile radio, expansion band and guard band channels. The company asked the FCC to adopt the tentative conclusions in an August 2016 NPRM (see 1608180045). It's "eager to complete the construction of its IoT network but is restricted in doing so unless and until the FCC releases the channels in the EB and GB,” said a filing posted Tuesday in docket 16-261.
