Coexisting in the 28 GHz Spectrum Band

The Communications Alliance Satellite Services Working Group (SSWG) has made a submission to the ACMA’s Uncoordinated ubiquitous FSS earth station coexistence with FWA in the 28 GHz band consultation. The SSWG does not support the parameters used in the ACMA’s Discussion Paper and suggests the values derived in the more comprehensive ACMA Technical Liaison Group’s discussions from last year to be used at the Area Wide Licence (AWL) outer boundaries and as presented in the ACMA’s Radiocommunications Assignment and Instruction RALI MS-46. The SSWG has made a proposal which it believes would deliver a more effective and efficient outcome for users of all services operating within the band.
