Electric Utilities Using Spectrum Proposedrnfor Vehicular Repeater Systems, EEI Says

摘要

Changing FCC rules to allow use of vehicular repeater systems (VRS) and other mobile repeatersrnby public safety agencies on some frequencies in the VHF band would be an interference threat to utilities,rnelectric utilities told the FCC. But the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials supportedrnthe rule change, saying repeaters are critical to public safety. In September, reacting to a 2011 petitionrnfrom Pyramid Communications, the FCC sought comment on whether “there is a need to make additionalrnspectrum available to support mobile repeater capability” in spectrum already used by Private Land MobilernRadio Service licensees, including public safety, mostly for voice (http://bit.ly/1irZ3vd).
