WISPA Says Win Expected on CBRS Transition

The Wireless ISP Association told members Monday the FCC is communicating to it that it will allow six months for 3.65 GHz licensees whose licenses expire April 17 to transition from Part 90 to Part 96 gear. WISPA President Claude Aiken shared the news in a private Facebook group. Aiken said licenses expiring in May will likely get a five-month extension. WISPA and the Utilities Technology Council jointly requested the extension (see 1812040002). The spectrum is part of the citizens broadband radio service band. The proposal got mixed reviews when the FCC took comment in 2018 (see 1812260035).
