Meeting is a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking for Modernizing and Expanding Access to the 70/80/90
GHz Bands<br>

Are there any challenges or opportunities in this for amateur
radio or amateur radio satellite service that we (interested in
amateur microwave bands) can comment upon? <br>

What the Report and Order Would Do:<br>
• Adopts rules to allow for point-to-point links to endpoints in
motion in the 70 GHz and 80 GHz bands under the part 101 rules,
covering: (1) in the aeronautical space, ground-to-air and
air-to-ground transmissions between ground stations and
aircraft, and air-to-air transmission between aircraft in
flight; and (2) in the maritime space, ship-to-shore,
shore-to-ship, aerostat-to-ship, and aerostat-to-shore
transmissions.<br>
<br>
• Adopts changes to FCC rules to facilitate the use of the 70
and 80 GHz bands for backhaul, including through the use of
smaller antennas and through adoption of a channelization plan<br>
consistent with Recommendation ITU-R F.2006.<br>
<br>
• Adopts rules to improve the accuracy of the link registration
database for the 70/80/90 GHz bands, including a requirement
that licensees certify that each link is constructed and
operating<br>
within 12 months of successful registration in the link
registration system. What the Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Would Do:<br>
<br>
• Seeks comment on the potential inclusion of FSS earth stations
in the third-party database registration regime in the 70 GHz
and 80 GHz bands, and changes necessary to implement inclusion
of these stations.<br>
