Abstract: On November 20, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission released a First Report and Order, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and Order of Proposed Modification, Use of the 5.850-5.925 GHz Band, ET Docket No. 19-138. Among other things, the Commission repurposed the 5.850-5.895 GHz band from the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to allow for the expansion of unlicensed operations, while continuing to dedicate the 5.895-5.925 GHz band for use by the ITS. ITS licensees must cease operations in the 5.850-5.895 GHz sub-band by the deadline the Commission set in the First Report and Order. 47 CFR New section 90.372 requires these licensees to notify the Commission that they have ceased operations in the 5.850-5.895 GHz sub-band.
