Use of Microwave for Wireless Backhaul; Provision for Additional Flexibility To Broadcast Auxiliary Service and Operational Fixed Microwave Licensees
In this document, the Commission commences a proceeding to remove regulatory barriers to the use of spectrum for wireless backhaul and other point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communications. This proceeding will surface ways to increase efficient use of spectrum for backhaul, especially by updating regulatory classifications that may not have kept pace with the evolution of converged digital technologies. Providing for the more flexible use of microwave frequencies for backhaul may help promote access to backhaul solutions that are critical to the deployment of wireless broadband and other services. Our proposed rule changes may be particularly beneficial to rural areas, where wireline alternatives may not exist. Our proposed rules should increase opportunities for all users of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint services, while protecting established license holders who are already using these bands. As an initial matter, we believe 750 megahertz in the 13 gigahertz range and below can be made flexibly usable for broadband backhaul.
