The FCC sought comment on seven petitions for reconsideration of its March 31 order that opens up the 5.1 GHz band for Wi-Fi and other unlicensed use (http://fcc.us/XffL9d). The order also harmonizes rules for this new U-NII-1 band with rules for the U-NII-3 band. Cambium Networks, JAB Wireless and the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association questioned the strict out-of-band emissions limits in the higher-powered 5.8 GHz region of the band (http://bit.ly/WNa5U2). Oppositions to the petitions must be filed by Aug. 14, replies Aug. 25, said an FCC notice Wednesday in the Federal Register (http://1.usa.gov/1lXFcSb).
