6 GHz Coalition Files Ex Parte Requesting Test Data
Publication Date: 
August 4, 2023

The 6 GHz coalition of which EWA is a member responded via letter to Professor Monisha Ghosh of the University of Notre Dame to her ex parte filing with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on July 21, 2023. In her ex parte, Professor Ghosh reported a meeting with representatives from the Office of Engineering & Technology to discuss research with the National Science Foundation regarding the Wi-Fi 6E deployment at the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame. In its letter, the Coalition reminded Professor Ghosh that 6 GHz incumbents welcome the opportunity to participate in collaborative testing “with any interested stakeholders (both unlicensed proponents and licensed incumbents)” with the goal of gathering “data to demonstrate what specific inputs should be modeled in the underlying Monte Carlo simulations relied upon by the Commission and unlicensed proponents.” Since incumbents were not involved in the testing Notre Dame conducted, the coalition would welcome the opportunity to review the underlying data from the tests and the methodology that was used and “are open to collaboration with all interested stakeholders in carrying out the research necessary to inform future actions.”

  • It’s remarkable what we’ve been able to do with EWA’s support. It’s a collaborative effort that has allowed Midland to deliver unparalleled support to our customers. No one else has the depth of understanding of FCC rules, which has resulted in more application grants. Midland Communications has a profound appreciation for EWA’s advocacy efforts. It has allowed us to have a voice before the FCC.

  • We use EWA for all of our FCC license applications. The staff at EWA provide outstanding customer service and do all they can to see that applications are granted. EWA does a super job of staying on top of situations that affect our ability to file license applications and serve customers. EWA’s Regulatory Call keeps us informed about what is happening with the FCC and their online systems.

  • It’s not just about finding frequencies. It’s about finding the RIGHT frequencies for that customer, and EWA excels every time at that. We would not be moving forward without EWA.

  • The advocacy and regulatory issues are very important to our business, and, without EWA, we would have no voice. Nobody is speaking up for players like us in Washington except EWA.

  • A Beep has been a happy customer of Spectrum Intel since its launch. It’s easy to use, the information is much more accessible, and the service includes extra features that other license activity reporting services don’t have. Spectrum Intel saves my team time each week.
