The Enterprise Wireless Alliance and pdvWireless File Proposed Rules Regarding Realignment of 900 MHz Spectrum

May 4, 2015

HERNDON, V.A. and WOODLAND PARK, N.J., May 4, 2015

The Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA) and pdvWireless (NASDAQ: PDVW) announce today that they have filed proposed rules at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) related to their joint Petition for Rulemaking to realign the Part 90 land mobile radio 900 MHz band.  The realignment would create an allocation to address the broadband needs of critical infrastructure and private enterprise entities, including priority access.

The proposed rules request the FCC to create a single 240-channel license for the 898-901/937-940 MHz band for Private Enterprise Broadband in each Metropolitan Trading Area (MTA), with spectrum in the 896-898/935-937 MHz band to continue to be licensed for site-based and geographic narrowband operations and services.

The proposed rules outline procedural and technical operating parameters, including field strength limits, and processes related to the administration and sequence of the proposed realignment of the 900 MHz band.  The proposed Rules can be viewed on the EWA website at www.enterprisewireless.org and the pdvWireless website at www.pdvwireless.com
