Ford Gets FCC OK to Test C-V2X Technology

January 3, 2020 |Connected Car

The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology approved Ford's application to test cellular-vehicle-to-everything technology in the 5.9 GHz band. Ford is allowed to run tests for two years along a road in the Detroit area. Commissioners approved 5-0 in December an NPRM seeking to reallocate the 5.9 GHz band for Wi-Fi and C-V2X, while potentially preserving a sliver for dedicated short-range communications (see 1912120058).
