EWA Files Comments on Proposal to Realign the 900 MHz Band
Publication Date: 
October 9, 2017

The Enterprise Wireless Alliance filed comments in response to the 900 MHz realignment proposal that is now the subject of a Federal Communications Commission Notice of Inquiry, in which the FCC has requested comment to ensure that the 900 MHz Band is put to its “best and highest use for the American public.” EWA and pdvWireless, which filed Joint Comments in the proceeding, believe that the proposed realignment will allow Private Enterprise (PE), including Critical Infrastructure Industry (CII), entities optimal flexibility by preserving spectrum for continued narrowband use while creating an opportunity for private carrier broadband networks. Except as specifically noted within these comments, the Alliance fully endorses the positions set out in the Joint Comments. EWA is firmly convinced that many of its members and other private land mobile radio (PLMR) entities must have access to broadband capability that meets their specialized requirements, whether for coverage, reliability, security, or other factors. Commercial broadband networks provide exceptional service for the consumer marketplace, but they do not always conform to the more demanding criteria of PE users.  

  • Using Spectrum Intel has been a game-changer for us. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, and the Market Area Reports have automated many tasks that we previously had to do manually, reducing delays of getting time sensitive data out to our sales team. The search functionality is impressively fast, and it’s clear that EWA is committed to continuous improvement, making the tool even more useful and intuitive. Highly recommend!

  • 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.
