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. PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 E:\FR\FM\06OCR1.SGM 06OCR1
