Protect V2X From Wi-Fi Interference, Automakers Urge FCC

Protect vehicle to everything in the 5.9 GHz band from unlicensed device users, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation asked the FCC. “Recent filings in this proceeding by NCTA and CableLabs erroneously downplay the risk of harmful interference … from unlicensed operations,” said a filing posted Thursday in docket 19-138: The CableLabs study “was done solely through modeling that makes unrealistic and simplistic assumptions that, in many cases, do not reflect real world tests or operating conditions.” Commissioners are expected to consider a 5.9 GHz order as early as next month (see 2009090058). NCTA and CableLabs didn’t comment.
