Controversial 24 GHz Order Before Commissioners

An order on adopting out-of-band emissions in the 24 GHz band, aligned with limits adopted at the 2019 World Radiocommunication Conference, was circulated for a commissioner vote, per an update last week to the agency’s “circulation list.” The proposed changes had received mixed reviews (see 2403150037). Commissioners Brendan Carr and Nathan Simington dissented on a December NPRM. The proposed changes “are asks that were either rejected or never even studied at WRC-19,” Carr said at the time (see 2312260043): “Thus, WRC-19 provides no basis or justification for turning heel.”
