The WhiteSpace Alliance (WSA) called for “opportunistic and more efficient utilization of spectrum enabled through database, sensing and beaconing technologies” in the 3.5 GHz band, in a document filed at the FCC, in advance of an FCC workshop Tuesday on the Spectrum Access System for the 3.5 GHz band. “WSA agrees with the FCC that opening up the 3550-3700 MHz spectrum to radio sharing technologies will spur innovation to address meaningful communications needs of consumers, businesses and governments while also protecting incumbent mission critical needs such as various [Department of Defense] systems,” the group said (http://bit.ly/1ai35S6). “WSA is willing to work with the FCC, NTIA and other [government] organizations to leverage interoperable spectrum sharing standards and create products for the 3.5 GHz Band."
