CTIA, Safety Groups Reiterate Call for Ban of Wireless Mics

摘要

CTIA and three public safety groups have reiterated their call for the FCC to promptly act to clear wireless microphones and other low power auxiliary station (LPAS) devices from the 700 megahertz band and prohibit their manufacture or sale for domestic use.rn"Absent prompt Commission action, interference and communications disruption in the 700 MHz band are inevitable - to first responders, to broadband customers, and to users of wireless microphones," the parties said in an April 7 ex parte filing in Wireless Telecommunications dockets 08-166 and 08-167. "Consistent with the FCC's tentative conclusions in the 700 MHz Wireless Microphone Notice, the outcome of this proceeding is equally clear - wireless microphone and other LPAS devices must cease operations in the 700 MHz band, and further manufacture and sale of such devices for domestic use must be prohibited.
