Spoke Safety Seeks Waiver for 5.9 GHz Safety Device

Spoke Safety sought a waiver Friday of the FCC’s 5.9 GHz rules for a cellular vehicle-to-everything safety device that can be installed on bikes, electric scooters, electric skateboards, motorcycles and similar light vehicles to “enable real time proximity or location-based alerts to help prevent collisions and other accidents.” The company said in docket 19-138 it can’t market or sell the device “absent a waiver that permits such deployment.”
