Comment Dates Set for 900 MHz, Z-Axis Location Proceedings

The 900 MHz notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) was published April 3. The document seeks comment on facilitating future broadband deployment in the 900 MHz band, which is configured for narrowband operations.

The Federal Register notice said 900 MHz comments are due May 3, and reply comments are due June 3. However, the FCC’s original NPRM said comments would be due 60 days after publication, which would be June 3, not May 3.

In addition, the FCC’s fourth further notice of proposed rulemaking to improve wireless E9-1-1 location accuracy, which adopted a vertical location accuracy metric of ±3 meters for 80 percent of indoor 9-1-1 calls, was published April 4.

Comments in that proceeding are due May 20, and reply comments are due June 18.
