Continental Automotive Systems Continues Rounds on 5.9 GHz Concerns

Continental Automotive Systems representatives met with aides to FCC Commissioners Brendan Carr and Geffrey Starks on concerns over patents for cellular vehicle-to-everything technology in the 5.9 GHz band, said a filing posted Friday in docket 19-138. That follows a meeting with an aide to Commissioner Nathan Simington (see 2304030043). Potentials problems can be “rectified by Commission action to provide corrective measures to promote fairness in the C-V2X marketplace,” the company said: “As the Commission is requiring the use of C-V2X technologies in the U.S., it should require that C-V2X-related patent licenses be available to all who seek them for the purpose of complying with the Commission’s regulation. By mandating licensing, the Commission will in turn allow diverse companies of all sizes and national origins, and from across industries, to participate in the C-V2X market.”
