ITS America Urges FCC to Act on C-V2X Waiver Requests

ITS America updated FCC staff, mostly from the Office of Engineering and Technology, on its stance on cellular vehicle-to-everything in the 5.9 GHz band, in meetings. “The participants discussed the need for expeditious grant of waiver requests to deploy V2X systems pending adoption of a Second Report and Order in this proceeding; the necessity of continued coordination between the FCC, other government agencies, and the transportation industry; as well as a potential reimbursement mechanism for incumbent licensees required to transition their operations,” said a filing Thursday in docket 19-138: The group “also urged the FCC to adopt service rules in its Second Report and Order that would protect V2X services from interference.” Industry observers expect the FCC to act soon on C-V2X waiver requests (see 2209010047).
