Anterix Meets Carr Aide on 900 MHz Expansion

Anterix representatives spoke with an aide to FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, seeking action on a rulemaking authorizing 5/5 MHz broadband deployments in the 900 MHz band (see 2405210041). “The FCC decision to create a 900 MHz broadband segment has already enabled utilities across the nation, including rural areas, to design, deploy, and operate private broadband networks tailored to their highly demanding specifications,” said a filing posted Wednesday in docket 24-99. “900 MHz broadband spectrum will play an increasingly important role in enabling the grid to withstand escalating external and weather-related threats, as well as growing internal demands for power during the transition to renewable energy,” Anterix said.
