Loss of 900MHz license free band


wn4isx
 

Not directly electronics but many in the electronics world use 900MHz devices for all sorts of applications. As a license free band, it's attractive for experimental remote control, remote monitoring (my remote Cosmic Ray monitoring project uses a one way 900MHz data link, our church uses 900MHz wireless microphones, my wife has a a pair of 900MHz headphones that blow the socks off any Bluetooth device)

There is an ISM allocation used for industrial, scientific and manufacturing. If NextNav succeeds in convincing the FCC to either sell or simply assign large parts of the 900MHz band, a lot of users are going to lose.

I'd say write the FCC to complain but the FCC appears to have become the federal governments frequency sales store.

Look at the UHF repack as an example.

I posted this more out of frustration then expecting anything any of us do to have any effect on the FCC. I expect them to go after the 2M and 70cm ham allocations any day now.
