In today’s 2nd Report and Order, the Commission amended its rules for 
general Part 15
unlicensed operations that use wide bandwidths but are not classified as 
UWB devices under its
rules. It increased the peak power limits and reduced the unwanted 
emission levels for 3
frequency bands that were already available for unlicensed operation: 
5925-7250 MHz, 16.2-
17.2 GHz, and 23.12-29 GHz, and indicated that higher peak power limits 
in these bands would
facilitate wideband operations such as short range communications, 
collision avoidance,
inventory control and tracking systems. The Commission also amended its 
measurement
procedures to permit frequency hopped, swept frequency, and gated 
systems operating within

these bands to be measured in their normal operating mode.

In light of these changes to the general Part 15 provisions, the 
Commission did not make
any major changes to the current UWB technical requirements, indicating 
that changes to these
rules at this early stage could be disruptive to current industry 
product development efforts. The
Commission made only a minor change to the measurement procedure applied 
to gated UWB

vehicular radar systems.

Action by the Commission December 15, 2004, by Second Report and Order 
and Second

Memorandum Opinion and Order in ET 98-153 (FCC 04-285). Chairman Powell,
Commissioners Abernathy, Copps, Martin and Adelstein.




From December 24, 2004:

* FCC Permits New Unlicensed UWB Devices *
* ** *The FCC adopted new rules to permit unlicensed wideband devices 
in the 6 GHz, 17 GHz and 24 GHz bands. Specifically, the FCC amended 
its rules for general Part 15 unlicensed operations that use wide 
bandwidths but are not classified as UWB devices under its rules. It 
increased the peak power limits and reduced the unwanted emission 
levels for 3 frequency bands that were already available for

RE: [WISPA] Is this real? More unlicensed bands?

[Brian Webster]

John,
Just off the top of my head this may be for RFID type devices looking at
the description of the services that might use it. I think I recall some
activity a while ago trying to increase the power levels for RFID systems.
The collision avoidance systems they speak of may be back-up types for large
vehicles and or smart highway/car systems. Just a thought.



Thank You,
Brian Webster

Subject: [WISPA] Is this real? More unlicensed bands?


I cannot believe I have never read about this before. Is it an April
Fool's joke? According to the sources I have seen this was released a
couple of years back. Can anyone confirm or deny the validity of this
information? Does anyone have a link that leads to a description of
exactly what can and cannot be done with these bands if it is real? I
know it is indicating UWB but this does not appear to be the only thing
it is limited to i I am reading this right.
Many thanks,
Scriv
