Make 5.9 GHz Waiver Permanent for WISPs, Qualcomm Says

Make permanent a temporary waiver for wireless ISPs to operate their unlicensed point-to-multipoint systems in the 5.9 GHz band, Qualcomm asked an aide to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, said a filing posted Monday in docket 19-138. The FCC approved special temporary authority for some WISPs to use the lower 45 MHz of the band during the pandemic (see 2005040053).
