WiMax Forum Updates Rosenworcel Aide on AeroMACS

WiMax Forum representatives updated an aide to acting FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel on the group’s 2017 proposal on service rules for aeronautical mobile airport communications systems, the subject of a 2019 NPRM (see 1909040057). Representatives “summarized the Forum’s proactive efforts to engage with equipment vendors and representatives from the avionics, airframe, and airline operator industries, as well as the various civil aviation authorities,” said a filing posted Wednesday in docket 19-140. Under the forum’s channel manager proposal, it said, the manager “will ensure efficient and effective coordination among eligible non-Federal AeroMACS users, ensure nationwide consistency in the allocation and use of the available AeroMACS channels, and provide a single point of contact to facilitate coordination with other authorized users of this spectrum.”
