Tech Companies Oppose AT&T's 6 GHz Database Request

Tech companies opposed AT&T’s pursuit from the Office and Engineering Technology of a knowledge database document identifying parameters automated frequency coordination system operators must use within the propagation models required by the FCC. The 6 GHz order didn't "delegate to OET authority to adopt ex ante the AFC system parameters AT&T discusses,” said Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, Google, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Intel, Meta Platforms, Microsoft and Qualcomm in docket 18-295: “Rather, it expressly left such implementation details to industry. AT&T’s assertion that Commission action is needed now, before the November 30, 2021 submission date for AFC system operator proposals, is doubly wrong. AFC system operator proposals do not depend on the parameters AT&T highlights. These parameters will become relevant at a later stage.”
