Spectrum Management Committee
-
The NPSTC Spectrum Management Committee currently oversees the activities of the following Working Groups:
700 MHz Advocacy
This Working Group will promote the availability of 700 MHz spectrum for public safety and Homeland
Security nationwide, develop recommendations on 700 MHz issues for the NPSTC Governing Board action, and facilitate outreach to the
public safety user community and government decision makers on 700 MHz issues.
The initial objectives of this group are to:
- Advance TV Clearing;
- Support shortspacing of land mobile and TV stations, pending full TV clearing;
- Encourage FCC to stop licensing additional LPTV stations in channels 60-69;
- Develop a position on the wideband reserve spectrum;
- Support conformance of 700 MHz station ID rules to match those at 800 MHz;
- Obtain FCC clarification of Fixed Operation status for 700 MHz;
- Develop a position on 12.5/6.25 kHz reconsideration issues; and
- Assist the Technology Committee in seeking FCC action on the TIA 902 wideband
standard previously recommended by the NCC.
Border Issues
This Working Group will focus on the mitigation of communications issues involving public safety operations in
the U.S. border areas, and will proactively work in international regulatory realms to facilitate more effective communications in these border areas.
The immediate objectives of this group are to:
- Work with Canada and Mexico to help facilitate timely and effective international allocation, regulation, and sharing of 700 MHz spectrum;
- Provide documentation of NPSTC’s positions in related regulatory matters and filings;
- Assist NPSTC and the public safety community with the border region aspects of the 800 MHz rebanding efforts; and
- Serve as a focal point for border area public safety communications issues as they arise.
