EWA Files Joint Comments on 6 GHz
Publication Date: 
January 27, 2023

On January 27, EWA joined APCO International, AT&T Services, Comsearch, the Edison Electric Institute, the Fixed Wireless Communications Coalition, the Utilities Technology Council, and Verizon in the attached ex parte letter seeking a clarification of the Public Notice released by the Office of Engineering and Technology  which conditionally approved thirteen (13) entities to operate automated frequency coordination (AFC) systems to manage access to 6 GHz band spectrum by standard-power unlicensed devices. Specifically, the joint filing seeks to ensure that the Public Notice does not override industry consensus standards developed by the Wireless Innovation Forum, which include propagation model parameters. The standards were created over a period of many months, at the urging of the Federal Communications Commission, and which “all stakeholders believed were acceptable taken as a whole.”

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
