Earlier this week, APCO met with advisers for FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel and Commissioners Carr, Starks, and Simington to discuss public safety’s use of the 6 GHz band. During the meeting, APCO noted how recent developments have validated concerns of interference to public safety networks due to operation of new unlicensed devices in the band. APCO offered suggestions for ways the Commission could help address these concerns and ensure that public safety remains free from any harmful interference.
