e-Advisory to Maximize Spectrum Efficiency

In the Channel Sharing Report, why is the frequency listed multiple times on the application?

There are several reasons why a frequency may be listed multiple times in the report:

  • One line is for the fixed site, and the second line is for the associated mobiles operating around a fixed location number, or
  • One line for the fixed site, the second for the mobile talk-around, or
  • One line for the fixed site, the second for the mobile-only operating around a center-point, or
  • One line for the fixed site, the second for the temporaries operating around a center-point.

To whom and how often is the e-Advisory on Spectrum Efficiency sent?

The e-Advisory is transmitted to both licensee (applicant) and their representative service provider who submitted the application to EWA, so long as both email addresses are provided. The e-Advisory is transmitted by EWA after confirmation of receipt by the FCC of EWA’s certified application, which usually is within 24 hours after EWA transmits the application to the FCC.

What does the e-Advisory on Spectrum Efficiency contain?

The advisory details the technical parameters of the new or modified system; it provides guidelines on the relevant FCC rules once the system is operational; and it assists in identifying potential issues associated with sharing frequencies with different system use technologies, objectives and operating practices. The e-Advisory also provides a link to request a Channel Sharing Report about the licensee’s shared spectrum environment.
