ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This document addresses an
Order on Reconsideration and Second
Report and Order in which the
Commission takes further actions to
foster the development and deployment
of new and innovative Medical Body
Area Network (MBAN) devices. In
addressing petitions for reconsideration
of the First Report and Order in this
proceeding, the Commission provides
MBAN users with additional flexibility
to enable the implementation of
technical standards being developed for
MBAN devices, and clarify and modify
portions of its rules to facilitate the
coordination, deployment, and use of
MBAN systems. In the Second Report
and Order portion in this proceeding,
the Commission finalizes the process for
selecting a MBAN Coordinator. This
coordinator will facilitate use of the
MBAN frequencies, which operate in
shared-use bands. Collectively, our
actions will allow the development of
new and innovative health care
applications.
SUMMARY:
Effective November 5, 2014,

Summary of Order on Reconsideration
1. In the Order on Reconsideration
and Second Report and Order, the
Commission took further actions to
foster the development and deployment
of new and innovative Medical Body
Area Network (MBAN) devices. MBAN
technology provides a platform for the
wireless networking of multiple bodyworn sensors used for measuring and
recording physiological parameters and
other patient information or for
performing diagnostic or therapeutic
functions, primarily in health care
facilities. By addressing petitions for
reconsideration of the First Report and
Order in this proceeding, we provided
MBAN users with additional flexibility
to enable the implementation of
technical standards being developed for
MBAN devices, and clarified and
modified portions of our rules to
facilitate the coordination, deployment,
and use of MBAN systems.
Authorized Locations
2. Health Care Facilities. The
Commission revised § 95.1203 of its
rules to limit use of the 2360–2390 MHz
band to hospitals and other
establishments that offer services,
facilities and beds for use beyond a 24hour period in rendering medical
treatment. It eliminated a portion of the
definition that included institutions and
organizations regularly engaged in
providing medical services through
clinics, public health facilities, and
similar establishments, including
government entities and agencies such
as Veterans Administration hospitals.

By limiting the types (and, thus, the
numbers) of medical institutions in the
2360–2390 MHz band, the Commission
intended to make it easier for both the
MBAN and AMT coordinators to
establish, implement and enforce
efficient and effective coordination
procedures. Further, it found that
limiting potential locations would
simplify their efforts to identify and
remedy any harmful interference in the
extremely unlikely event it occurs.
3. Although GE Healthcare, Phillips
Healthcare, and the Aerospace and
Flight Test Radio Coordinating Council
(AFTRCC) (the’’ Joint Parties’’) had
suggested this approach as part of their
comprehensive set of proposed rules,
they had not discussed the rationale for
this limitation until the filing of their
Petition for Reconsideration. Because
the Petition for Reconsideration stated
with particularity the reasons why the
Commission should adopt their
proposed authorized locations
definition, it found that the public
interest would be it served by taking the
Joint Parties’ facts and arguments into
consideration.
4. As part of this decision, the
Commission determined that, because
the existing MBAN standard will
support numerous patients in the 2390–
2400 MHz band, and because frequency
reuse techniques can augment that
capacity in many situations, no health
care facilities—including those that do
not qualify for use of the 2360–2390
MHz band—will be precluded from
operating MBAN systems. For this
reason, the Commission disagreed with
SmartEdgeNet that health care providers
will be ‘‘denied the benefits of MBAN’’
if the Commission limited the
authorized locations as requested.
5. Antenna Locations. In their Petition
for Reconsideration, the Joint Parties
claimed that § 95.1213, titled
‘‘Antennas,’’ appeared to exclude the
installation of outdoor antennas for the
2390–2400 MHz band at locations above
a building’s first floor, such as balconies
and roof terraces, and that this was not
the intent of the rule. Upon
reconsideration, the Commission agreed
and expressly found that it was not
necessary to apply antenna height
restrictions—which were originally
intended as a constraint on temporary
outdoor use of MedRadio antennas
regardless of the band in which the
transmitter operated—to antennas used
for MedRadio transmitters operating in
the 2390–2400 MHz band.
6. The Commission concluded that,
based on the permissible outdoor use in
this band and the relatively low power
operations of MBAN transmitters
(which effectively limits any gain in
