May 2024 doc #: IEEE 802.15-24-0280-00-0mag Announcement and Filing (April 16, 2024) McLean, VA., April 16, 2024 NextNav filed a rulemaking petition asking the FCC to deliver an innovative spectrum solution in the Lower 900 MHz band (902-928 MHz band). The petition proposes rearranging the band to facilitate a terrestrial PNT network and broadband. The petition specifically asks the FCC to reconfigure the band plan and adopt new rules to: Enable a high-quality terrestrial complement and backup to the Global Positioning System ( GPS ) on which the nation relies for essential positioning, navigation, timing ( PNT ) services. Provide 15 megahertz of low-band spectrum for use by mobile broadband networks.

May 2024 Extracts from Filing doc #: IEEE 802.15-24-0280-00-0mag The Lower 900 MHz Band is an ideal candidate for swift FCC action as it is currently underutilized due to an outdated band plan and technical and service rules that limit the use of the band for fifth-generation ( 5G ) technologies. Therefore, NextNav proposes the Commission take the following general steps: Update the band plan to support a 15-megahertz spectrum block with a 5-megahertz uplink in the 902-907 MHz band and 10-megahertz downlink in the 918-928 MHz band; Revise the outdated rules for Multilateration Location and Monitoring Service to enable flexible use at full macro power limits, permitting the band to be used for a combination of PNT and mobile broadband; Arrange a spectrum swap to convert NextNav s current extensive holdings into a nationwide license for NextNav; and Direct that federal operations and incumbent licensees will be protected Submission Slide 3 Phil Beecher (Wi-SUN Alliance)
May 2024 Considerations doc #: IEEE 802.15-24-0280-00-0mag 1. I dispute underutilized for example: Currently there are estimated approximately 50 million 802.15.4 SUN devices operating in this band, mostly in electrical utilities, for example: Avangrid, BC Hydro, ComEd, Duke, FPL, HECO, PGE, SCE, National Grid, PPL, Rhode Island Energy, Xcel Energy 2. There appear to be technical inaccuracies justifying this filing Some questions for the audience: 1. Is a response necessary? 2. Does IEEE 802 wish to respond? 3. If so, will 802.18 undertake this activity Submission Slide 4 Phil Beecher (Wi-SUN Alliance)
