SBE Seeks 6 GHz Safe Harbor for Electronic News Gathering

The Society of Broadcast Engineers asked the FCC to set aside 55 MHz at the top of the 6 GHz U-NII-8 band as a “safe harbor” for electronic newsgathering (ENG) operations. “Fundamentally, SBE respectfully submits that temporarily reserving a small swath of spectrum for incumbent, mission-critical broadcast ENG operations has no policy drawbacks, and instead only benefits both the public and affected industry stakeholders,” said a filing posted Tuesday in docket 18-295.
