Sharing 3.1-3.45 GHz With Federal Radar a Challenge: Spectrum Experts

Wireless Future Project director Michael Calabrese is mentioned in a Communications Daily article discussing how to approach making parts of the 3.1-3.45 GHz band of spectrum available for non-federal use, which he and other spectrum sharing experts discussed on November 30 at the annual Wireless Innovation Forum.

Sharing the 3.1-3.45 GHz band is a particular challenge because of the density of military radar systems there, exacerbated by DOD moving numerous systems into that spectrum when clearing out the 3.45-3.55 GHz band, said Michael Calabrese, director of the Wireless Future Program at New America.

Calabrese said provisions in the Spectrum Innovation Act would solve some problems with the Jobs Act, such as DOD being sole determiner of what sharing can be done, but the Spectrum Innovation Act could face Senate Armed Services Committee pushback against rewriting what had been bipartisan legislation.
