Type: Notice
Date: 2014-07-15
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Federal Communications Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) issue this Joint Public Notice to seek public comment on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) recommendation that the Secretary of Commerce establish a public-private partnership to facilitate the creation of an urban test city that would support rapid experimentation and development of policies, underlying technologies, and system capabilities for advanced, dynamic spectrum sharing. The test services (referenced herein as a ``Model City'') for demonstrating and evaluating advanced spectrum sharing technologies could include large- scale sustainable facilities for systems-level testing in real-world environments across multiple frequency bands, including public safety and selected federal bands. Through this Joint Public Notice, NTIA and OET seek to promote the Model City concept in conjunction with: (1) The new Center for Advanced Communications established by NTIA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and (2) the FCC's existing experimental licensing program.
