srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
database(s) to manage the use of DACA
solutions to limit the interference
potential among and between DACA
and terrestrial uses. Comsearch suggests
that ‘‘a centralized database approach
offers several merits including:
standardized data structures and format,
efficiency in data provisioning, ease of
maintenance, high accuracy and
reliability, and streamlined interaction.’’
We seek comment on this ‘‘centralized
database’’ approach.
To ensure that frequency reuse does
not cause interference, wireless
providers must ensure that they
coordinate the transmitters in their
network and coordinate with providers
operating in adjacent markets on the
same frequencies. We seek comment on
whether similar procedures should be
adopted for DACA technologies and, if
so, what they should include.
Moreover, other than allocating
dedicated spectrum for the use of DACA
technologies, are there methods to
ensure that frequency reuse does not
cause interference or to minimize any
such interference?
Several comments raised the concern
that the use of DACA technologies
during emergencies could overlap with
the restoration of terrestrial services,
potentially creating interference. We
seek comment on ways to avoid this
problem.
We also seek comment on DACA
signal propagation.
We also seek comment on directional
antennas and any other products that
can help to mitigate or reduce
interference.
AT&T suggests that the use of tethered
aerostats, i.e., aerostats tethered to the
ground, would minimize interference
concerns and propagate a more
predictable signal, especially if
equipped with stabilizers to minimize
movement of the aerostat that
accompanies the use of DACA
technology. We seek comment on the
suitability of tethered platforms.
3. Interoperability
Interoperability is a central
requirement of emergency response
communications between multiple
disciplines and agencies. If DACA
technologies are used for emergency
communications, it is critical to ensure
that they preserve interoperability for
emergency responders. How can
existing public safety network services
be accessed using DACA solutions
while preserving interoperability?
C. Prioritization of Service and Access
DACA systems may have limitations
in terms of the aggregate volume of
traffic that can be supported by an aerial

platform, due to factors such as the size,
weight, and power of DACA
technologies. Such limitations may
create a need to examine priorities
among the various communications
services that DACA systems might help
restore. We seek comment on the issue
of prioritizing certain communications
services immediately following a
catastrophic event.
D. International Considerations
We recognize that radio
transmissions, including from DACA
transmitters, do not recognize political
boundaries. Could DACA technologies
operate in a way that would comply
with the signal strength limits set forth
in these agreements? If DACA
technologies are unable to comply with
technical criteria detailed in existing
agreements with Canada and Mexico,
we seek comment on what types of
agreement would need to be reached
with each country to permit DACA
operations along the border.
E. Conclusion
1. Ensuring that communications are
available immediately following a
catastrophic event is critical to
emergency response. DACA brings the
promise of a new tool that can be
rapidly deployed and utilized when
terrestrial infrastructure is not available,
potentially facilitating the use of day-today commercial and public safety
devices. This capability could save
lives. We intend for the record
generated by this proceeding to provide
the opportunity for a thorough
discussion of DACA technologies and
solutions that address system
performance, service prioritization, and
governance issues.
Accordingly, it is ordered that,
pursuant to sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), 4(o),
7(b), 301, 316 and 403 of the
Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C.

and 403, and § 1.430 of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.430, this
Notice of Inquiry is adopted.
