The Enterprise Wireless Alliance raised concerns about an application by Spectrum Networks Group (SNG) for an FCC waiver so subsidiary M2M Spectrum Networks can offer a third-party service providing machine-to-machine communications using 900 MHz Business/Industrial/Land Transportation channels. EWA said SNG offers only “bald assertions” on plans for the spectrum, but no “product development details, information regarding FCC certification for this 900 MHz data product, business plans, funding status to support a ‘nationwide network,’ or other relevant documentation that might provide credence in support of waiver relief.” The filing was posted by the FCC Tuesday in docket 14-100 (http://bit.ly/1labmKf). SNG filed a recent ex parte filing (http://bit.ly/1rYkuYd) saying it plans to offer “the first, dedicated, national, licensed, machine-to-machine communications network in the United States.” “M2M feels confident in its applications,” said Christopher Bjornson of Steptoe & Johnson, which represents the company. “It looks forward to addressing the issues raised by EWA.”
