The Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA) and Pacific DataVision, Inc. (PDV) replied to comments of private radio users, Critical Infrastructure licensees, associations, and vendors filed late last month at the Federal Communications Commission in response to the Petition for Rulemaking Regarding Realignment of 900 MHz Spectrum filed by EWA and PDV. The reply comments complete the second phase of a proceeding started by the FCC’s November 26, 2014 Public Notice seeking comment about the Petition to realign the 900 MHz band. The second phase of the proceeding commenced with the FCC’s May 13, 2015 Public Notice seeking comment on the proposed rules submitted by EWA and PDV recommending technical and logistical details of the band realignment. The proposed rules would protect incumbents, provide certainty for the realignment process, and, upon implementation, improve spectrum efficiency in that band while offering Critical Infrastructure entities priority access to next-generation broadband technology.

EWA and PDV’s joint-reply comments can be found on both the EWA website at www.enterprisewireless.org and the PDV website at www.pdvwireless.com.

Mark Crosby, President and CEO of the Enterprise Wireless Alliance, stated, “We looked closely at the comments filed by 900 MHz incumbents and other parties and believe the relevant factors that must be weighed by the FCC now are on the record. EWA’s obligation as a national membership organization, as an FCC-certified frequency advisory committee, and as a proponent of the realignment is to facilitate the introduction of advanced technologies for the benefit of our members, while simultaneously ensuring the rights of incumbents to interference protection as prescribed by the FCC rules. The Alliance believes that state-of the-art technology will enable broadband and narrowband systems to co-exist, side-by-side without system degradation to either. We look forward to working closely with industry associations as we have on many other spectrum issues in the past to ensure that the frequency coordination process protects all authorized users in the 900 MHz band.”

Mr. Crosby added, “The Commission always looks very carefully at proposed band realignments to be sure that all interests are properly balanced – those of incumbents, of prospective users of more advanced technologies, and of the public that benefits from efficient use of limited spectrum resources. The FCC has never fashioned spectrum repurposing rules without adequate protection for incumbent operations, including the provision of fully comparable facilities, and it is my expectation that the Commission will adopt such rules in this instance.”

Morgan O’Brien, Vice Chairman of PDV, said, “The proposed rules were intended to be consistent with provisions used by the FCC in other band realignments where appropriate, but also were informed by the questions and concerns raised by incumbents in the initial stage of this proceeding. Most significantly, we propose a substantial improvement in the interference protection rights of incumbents. This modification provides greater protection than is required for 900 MHz systems under current rules, but, after discussion with licensees and vendors, we believe this is an appropriate obligation to impose on a PEBB licensee.”

Mr. O’Brien continued, "The intended beneficiaries of a PEBB allocation are Critical Infrastructure entities, including 900 MHz incumbents who are voicing reservations in the proceeding, as well as other Private Enterprise companies. No PEBB licensee would want to take on a retuning task that was not going to be successful in attracting key customer categories, so we have listened carefully to their concerns. At PDV we are convinced the proposed rules, as modified by these replies, are a strong foundation for an FCC rulemaking. We hope to serve these parties as long-term customers. "
