The Mobility Division of the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau has granted TerreStar Corp. a limited, conditional waiver to allow it to offer wireless medical telemetry services (WMTS) in the 1.4 gigahertz band. "With the COVID-19 outbreak causing increased reliance on medical telemetry monitoring in hospitals and on telehealth in general, this action will help ensure that traditional health care facilities have more spectrum capacity to meet a surge of additional monitoring demands that may occur in emergencies. It also will enable the development and use of monitoring services in non-traditional settings outside hospitals," the FCC said in an April 30 news release.
