On November 20, 2020 the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a Report and Order seeking to modernize the 5.9 (5.85-5.925) GHz spectrum band for wireless use cases. This spectrum had been allocated for operation of Intelligent Transportation Systems Radio Services (“ITS”).
5G Americas, the wireless industry trade association that is the voice for 5G and LTE in the Americas, submits these comments in response to the Commission’s Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“Further Notice” or “FNPRM”) in the above-referenced proceeding concerning use of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything, or C-V2X, technology, in the 5.9 GHz band.
