  36. Second R&O Introduction “In this Second Report and Order, we adopt rules to allow unlicensed radio transmitters to operate in the broadcast television spectrum at locations where that spectrum is not being used by licensed services (this unused TV spectrum is often termed “white spaces”). This action will make a significant amount of spectrum available for new and innovative products and services, including broadband data and other services for businesses and consumers. The actions we take here are a conservative first step that includes many safeguards to prevent harmful interference to incumbent communications services. Moreover, the Commission will closely oversee the development and introduction of these devices to the market and will take whatever actions may be necessary to avoid, and if necessary correct, any interference that may occur. Further, we will consider in the future any changes to the rules that may be appropriate to provide greater flexibility for development of this technology and better protect against harmful interference to incumbent communications services.” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

  37. Introduction (cont’d) • The rules we are adopting provide for the following capabilities and safeguards: • Enable both fixed and personal/portable devices • Devices, except p/p in client mode, require geolocation capability and Internet access of a database of protected radio services and locations and channels that may be used by the TVBDs at each location. The TVBDs must first access the database before operating. • The database will be established and administered by a third party, or parties • Fixed devices may operate on any channel between 2 and 51, except 3, 4 and 37…at up to 4 Watts EIRP • Fixed and p/p devices must also sense TV broadcasting and wireless microphone signals • Wireless microphones will be protected in a variety of ways • channels from 2 – 20 will be restricted to fixed devices • in 13 major markets where certain channels between 14 and 20 are for land mobile, 2 channels in 21 and 51 will be free of TVBDs; available for wireless microphones • Devices must adhere to rules to further mitigate and remedy interference • Equipment certification by the FCC Laboratory • Sensing-only devices subject to a “much more rigorous set of tests” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
