band should be attempted only if it cannot be accommodated in the
5,925-6,425 MHz band.
(b) Frequencies normally available for assignment in this service are
set forth with applicable limitations in the following tables: 928-960
MHz Multiple address system (MAS) frequencies are available for the
point-to-multipoint and point-to-point transmission of a licensee's
products or services, excluding video entertainment material, to a
licensee's customer or for its own internal communications. The paired
frequencies listed in this section are used for two-way communications
between a master station and remote stations. Ancillary one-way
communications on paired frequencies are permitted on a case-by-case
basis. Ancillary communications between interrelated master stations
are permitted on a secondary basis. The normal channel bandwidth
assigned will be 12.5 kHz. EA licensees, however, may combine
contiguous channels without limit or justification. Site-based
licensees may combine contiguous channels up to 50 kHz, and more than
50 kHz only upon a showing of adequate justification. Any bandwidth
(12.5 kHz, 25 kHz or greater) authorized in accordance with this
section may be subdivided into narrower bandwidths to create additional
(or sub) frequencies without the need to specify each discrete
frequency within the specific bandwidth. Equipment that is used to
create additional frequencies by narrowing bandwidth (whether
authorized for a 12.5 kHz, 25 kHz or greater bandwidth) will be
required to meet, at a minimum, the +-0.00015 percent tolerance
requirement so that all subfrequencies will be within the emission
mask. Systems licensed for frequencies in these MAS bands prior to
August 1, 1975, may continue to operate as authorized until June 11,
1996, at which time they must comply with current MAS operations based
on the 12.5 kHz channelization set forth in this paragraph. Systems
licensed between August 1, 1975, and January 1, 1981, inclusive, are
required to comply with the grandfathered 25 kHz standard bandwidth and
channelization requirements set forth in this paragraph. Systems
originally licensed after January 1, 1981, and on or before May 11,
1988, with bandwidths of 25 kHz and above, will be grandfathered
indefinitely.
Note to paragraph (b) introductory text: Paragraphs (b)(1) through
(b)(5) and Tables 1 through 7 of this section pertain to Multiple
Address System (MAS) frequencies and paragraph (b)(6) and Tables 8
through 11 of this section pertain to Point-To-Point frequencies.
(1) Frequencies listed in this paragraph are designated for private
internal use and are subject to site-based licensing.

(p) 12,000-12,700 MHz. The Commission has allocated the 12.2-12.7 GHz
band for use by the Direct Broadcast Satellite Service (DBS), the
Multichannel Video Distribution and Data Service (MVDDS), and the
Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit Fixed Satellite Service (NGSO FSS).
MVDDS shall be licensed on a non-harmful interference co-primary basis
to existing DBS operations and on a co-primary basis with NGSO FSS
stations in this band. MVDDS use can be on a common carrier and/or
non-common carrier basis and can use channels of any desired bandwidth
up to the maximum of 500 MHz provided the EIRP does not exceed 14 dBm
per 24 megahertz. Private operational fixed point-to-point microwave
stations authorized after September 9, 1983, are licensed on a
non-harmful interference basis to DBS and are required to make any and
all adjustments necessary to prevent harmful interference to operating
domestic DBS receivers. Incumbent public safety licensees shall be
afforded protection from MVDDS and NGSO FSS licensees, however all
other private operational fixed licensees shall be secondary to DBS,
MVDDS and NGSO FSS licensees. As of May 23, 2002, the Commission no
longer accepts applications for new licenses for point-to-point private
operational fixed stations in this band, however, incumbent licensees
and previously filed applicants may file applications for minor
modifications and amendments (as defined in § 1.929 of this chapter)
thereto, renewals, transfer of control, or assignment of license.
Notwithstanding any other provisions, no private operational fixed
point-to-point microwave stations are permitted to cause harmful
interference to broadcasting-satellite stations of other countries
operating in accordance with the Region 2 plan for the
Broadcasting-Satellite Service established at the 1983 WARC.
(q) Special provisions for incumbent low power, limited coverage
systems in the band segments 12.2-12.7 GHz.
(1) As of May 23, 2002, the Commission no longer accepts applications
for new stations in this service and incumbent stations may remain in
service provided they do not cause harmful interference to any other
primary services licensed in this band as described in paragraph (p) of
this section. However, incumbent licensees and previously filed
applicants may file applications for minor modifications and amendments
(as defined in § 1.929 of this chapter) thereto, renewals, transfer of
control, or assignment of license.
(2) Prior to December 8, 2000, notwithstanding any contrary provisions
in this part, the frequency pairs 12.220/12.460 GHz, 12.260/12.500 GHz,
12.300/12.540 GHz and 12.340/12.580 GHz, were authorized for low power,
limited coverage systems subject to the following provisions:
(i) Maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) shall be 55
dBm;
(ii) The rated transmitter output power shall not exceed 0.5 watts;
(iii) Frequency tolerance shall be maintained to within 0.01 percent of
the assigned frequency;
(iv) Maximum beamwidth shall not exceed 4 degrees. However, the
sidelobe suppression criteria contained in § 101.115 shall not apply,
except that a minimum front-to-back ratio of 38 dB shall apply;
(v) Upon showing of need, a maximum bandwidth of 12 MHz may be
authorized per frequency assigned;
(vi) Radio systems authorized under the provisions of this section
shall have no more than three hops in tandem, except upon showing of
need, but in any event the maximum tandem length shall not exceed 40 km
(25 miles);
(vii) Interfering signals at the receiver antenna terminals of stations
authorized under this section shall not exceed -90 dBm and -70 dBm
respectively, for co-channel and adjacent channel interfering signals,
and
(viii) Stations authorized under the provisions of this section shall
provide the protection from interference specified in § 101.105 to
stations operating in accordance with the provisions of this part.
(r) 17,700 to 19,700 and 24,250 to 25,250 MHz: Operation of stations
using frequencies in these bands is permitted to the extent specified
in this paragraph. Until November 19, 2012, stations operating in the
band 18.3-18.58 GHz that were licensed or had applications pending
before the Commission as of November 19, 2002 shall operate on a shared
co-primary basis with other services under parts 21, 25, 74, and 78 of
this chapter. Until October 31, 2011, operations in the band 19.26-19.3
GHz and low power systems operating pursuant to paragraph (r)(10) of
this section shall operate on a co-primary basis. Until June 8, 2010,
stations operating in the band 18.58-18.8 GHz that were licensed or had
applications pending before the Commission as of June 8, 2000 may
continue those operations on a shared co-primary basis with other
services under parts 21, 25, 74, and 78 of this chapter. Until June 8,
2010, stations operating in the band 18.8-19.3 GHz that were licensed
or had applications pending before the Commission as of September 18,
1998 may continue those operations on a shared co-primary basis with
other services under parts 21, 25, 74, and 78 of this chapter. After
November 19, 2012, stations operating in the band 18.3-18.58 GHz are
not entitled to protection from fixed-satellite service operations and
must not cause unacceptable interference to fixed-satellite service
station operations. After June 8, 2010, operations in the 18.58-19.30
GHz band are not entitled to protection from fixed-satellite service
operations and must not cause unacceptable interference to
fixed-satellite service station operations. After November 19, 2002, no
applications for new stations for 47 CFR part 101 licenses will be
accepted in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band. After June 8, 2000, no
applications for new stations for 47 CFR part 101 licenses will be
accepted in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band. Licensees, except 24 GHz band
licensees, may use either a two-way link or one frequency of a
frequency pair for a one-way link and must coordinate proposed
operations pursuant to the procedures required in § 101.103 of this
subpart. (Note, however, that stations authorized as of September 9,
1983, to use frequencies in the band 17.7-19.7 GHz may, upon proper
application, continue to be authorized for such operations, consistent
with the above conditions related to the 18.58-19.3 GHz band.)
Applicants for one-way spectrum from 17.7-18.58 GHz for multichannel
video programming distribution are governed by paragraph (r)(6) of this
section. Licensees are also allowed to use one-way (unpaired) channels
in the 17.7-17.74 GHz sub-band to pair with other channels in the FS
portions of the 18 GHz band where, for example, the return pair is
already in use and therefore blocked or in TDD systems. Stations used
for MVPD operations in the 17.7-17.8 GHz band must coordinate with the
Federal Government before operating in the zones specified in
§ 1.924(e) of this chapter.

(6) MVPD use: Multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) can
use any size channels for one-way operations in the 17.7-18.58 GHz band
for any permissible communications specified for this band in § 101.603
provided that they have coordinated the appropriate emission
designators and power, but must request contiguous spectrum (minus
spectrum that is already licensed or prior coordinated in the area and
thus blocked). MVPD systems must meet the efficiency requirements of
§ 101.141. Spectrum at 18.3-18.58 GHz is only available for
grandfathered stations. See § 101.85.

point-to-multipoint systems and are available by geographic area
licensing in the 24 GHz Service to be used as the licensee desires. The
24 GHz spectrum can be aggregated or disaggregated and does not have to
be used in the transmit/receive manner shown except to comply with
international agreements along the U.S. borders. Channels 35 through 39
are licensed in the 24 GHz Service by Economic Areas for any digital
fixed service. Channels may be used at either nodal or subscriber
station locations for transmit or receive but must be coordinated with
adjacent channel and adjacent area users in accordance with the
provisions of § 101.509 of this subpart. Stations also must comply with

(14) Special provision for low power systems in the 17,700-19,700 MHz
band: Notwithstanding other provisions in 47 CFR part 101 and except
for specified areas around Washington, DC, and Denver, Colorado,
licensees of point-to-multipoint channel pairs 25-29 identified in
paragraph (r)(13) of this section may continue to operate in accordance
with the requirements of § 101.85 and may operate multiple low power
transmitting devices within a defined service area. Operations are
prohibited within 55 km when used outdoor and within 20 km when used
indoor of the coordinates 38 deg.48' N/76 deg.52' W (Washington, DC
area) and 39 deg.43' N/104 deg.46' W (Denver, Colorado area). The
service area will be a 28 kilometer omni directional radius originating
from specified center reference coordinates. The specified center
coordinates must be no closer than 56 kilometers from any co-channel
nodal station or the specified center coordinates of another co-channel
system. Applicants/licensees do not need to specify the location of
each individual transmitting device operating within their defined
service areas. Such operations are subject to the following
requirements on the low power transmitting devices:
(i) Power must not exceed one watt EIRP and 100 milliwatts transmitter
output power;
(ii) A frequency tolerance of 0.001% must be maintained; and
(iii) The mean power of emissions shall be attenuated in accordance
with the following schedule:
(A) In any 4 kHz band, the center frequency of which is removed from
the center frequency of the assigned channel by more than 50 percent of
the channel bandwidth and is within the bands 18,820-18,870 MHz or
19,160-19,210 MHz:
A = 35 + .003 (F -0.5B) dB
or,
80 dB (whichever is the lesser attenuation).
Where:
A = Attenuation (in decibels) below output power level contained within
the channel for a given polarization.
B = Bandwidth of channel in kHz.
F = Absolute value of the difference between the center frequency of
the 4 kHz band measured at the center frequency of the channel in kHz.
(B) In any 4 kHz band the center frequency of which is outside the
bands 18.820-18.870 GHz: At least 43 + 10 log P (mean output power in
watts) decibels.
(iv) Low power stations authorized in the band 18.8-19.3 GHz after June
8, 2000, are restricted to indoor use only. No new licenses will be
authorized for applications received after April 1, 2002.

paragraph (8) of this section.
(8) Special provisions for low power, limited coverage systems in the
21.8-22.0 GHz and 23.0-23.2 GHz band segments. Notwithstanding any
contrary provisions in this part, the frequency band segment 21.8-22.0
GHz paired with the frequency band segment 23.0-23.2 GHz may be
authorized for low power, limited coverage systems subject to the
following provisions:
(i) The maximum EIRP shall be 55 dBm and the rated transmitter output
power shall not exceed 0.100 Watts;
(ii) In the band segments from 21.8-22.0 GHz and 23.0-23.2 GHz, the
frequency tolerance for stations authorized on or before April 1, 2005
is 0.05%. Existing licensees and pending applicants on that date may
continue to operate after that date with a frequency tolerance of
0.05%, provided that it does not cause harmful interference to the
operation of any other licensee. The frequency tolerance of
§ 101.107(a) shall apply to stations applied for after April 1, 2005;
(iii) The maximum beamwidth shall not exceed 4 degrees;
(iv) The sidelobe suppression criteria contained in § 101.115 of this
part shall not apply, except that a minimum front-to-back ratio of 38
dB shall apply;
(v) Upon showing of need, a maximum bandwidth of 50 MHz may be
authorized per frequency assigned;
(vi) Radio systems authorized under the provisions of this section
shall have no more than five hops in tandem, except upon showing of
need, but in any event the maximum tandem length shall not exceed 40 km
(25 miles);
(vii) Interfering signals at the antenna terminals of station
authorized under this section shall not exceed -90 dBm and -70 dBm
respectively, for co-channel and adjacent channel interfering signals;
and
(viii) Stations authorized under the provisions of this section shall
provide the protection from interference specified in § 101.105 to
stations operating in accordance with the provisions of this part.
(t) 27,500-28,350; 29,100-29,250; 31,000-31,300 MHz. These frequencies
are available for LMDS systems. Each assignment will be made on a BTA
service area basis, and the assigned spectrum may be subdivided as
desired by the licensee.
(u) 31,000-31,300 MHz. Stations licensed in this band prior to March
11, 1997, may continue their authorized operations, subject to license
renewal, on the condition that harmful interference will not be caused
to LMDS operations licensed in this band after June 30, 1997. Non-LMDS
stations licensed after March 11, 1997, based on applications refiled
no later than June 26, 1998 are unprotected and subject to harmful
interference from each other and from stations licensed prior to March
11,( 1997, and are licensed on a secondary basis to LMDS. In the
sub-bands 31,000-31,075 MHz and 31,225-31,300 MHz, stations initially
licensed prior to March 11, 1997, except in LTTS, and LMDS operations
authorized after June 30, 1997, are equally protected against harmful
interference from each other in accordance with the provisions of
§ 101.103(b). For stations, except in LTTS, permitted to relocate to
these sub-bands, the following paired frequencies are available:

Note to (u): These channels are assigned for use within a rectangular
service area to be described in the application by the maximum and
minimum latitudes and longitudes. Such service area must be as small as
practical consistent with the local service requirements of the
carrier. These frequency plans may be subdivided as desired by the
licensee and used within the service area as desired without further
authorization subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
§ 101.149. These frequencies may be assigned only where it is shown
that the applicant will have reasonable projected requirements for a
multiplicity of service points or transmission paths within the area.

MHz bands prior to July 15, 1993, are permitted to use channel plans in
effect prior to that date, including adding channels under those plans.
(x) Operations on other than the listed frequencies may be authorized
where it is shown that the objectives or requirements of the
interference criteria prescribed in § 101.105 could not otherwise be
met to resolve the interference problems.
(y) Special requirements for operations in the band 29.1-29.25 GHz.
(1)(i) LMDS receive stations operating on frequencies in the 29.1-29.25
GHz band within a radius of 75 nautical miles of the geographic
coordinates provided by a non-GSO MSS licensee pursuant to paragraphs
(c)(2) or (c)(3)(i) of this section (the "feeder link earth station
complex protection zone") shall accept any interference caused to them
by such earth station complexes and shall not claim protection from
such earth station complexes.
(ii) LMDS licensees operating on frequencies in the 29.1-29.25 GHz band
outside a feeder link earth station complex protection zone shall
cooperate fully and make reasonable efforts to resolve technical
problems with the non-GSO MSS licensee to the extent that transmissions
from the non-GSO MSS operator's feeder link earth station complex
interfere with an LMDS receive station.
(2) No more than 15 days after the release of a public notice
announcing the commencement of LMDS auctions, feeder link earth station
complexes to be licensed pursuant to Section 25.257 shall be specified
by a set of geographic coordinates in accordance with the following
requirements: no feeder link earth station complex may be located in
the top eight (8) metropolitan statistical areas ("MSAs"), ranked by
population, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget as of
June 1993, using estimated populations as of December 1992; two (2)
complexes may be located in MSAs 9 through 25, one of which must be
Phoenix, AZ (for a complex at Chandler, AZ); two (2) complexes may be
located in MSAs 26 to 50; three (3) complexes may be located in MSAs 51
to 100, one of which must be Honolulu, Hawaii (for a complex at
Waimea); and the three (3) remaining complexes must be located at least
75 nautical miles from the borders of the 100 largest MSAs or in any
MSA not included in the 100 largest MSAs. Any location allotted for one
range of MSAs may be taken from an MSA below that range.
(3)(i) Any non-GSO MSS licensee may at any time specify sets of
geographic coordinates for feeder link earth station complexes with
each earth station contained therein to be located at least 75 nautical
miles from the borders of the 100 largest MSAs.
(ii) For purposes of paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section, non-GSO MSS
feeder link earth station complexes shall be entitled to accommodation
only if the affected non-GSO MSS licensee preapplies to the Commission
for a feeder link earth station complex or certifies to the Commission
within sixty days of receiving a copy of an LMDS application that it
intends to file an application for a feeder link earth station complex
within six months of the date of receipt of the LMDS application.
(iii) If said non-GSO MSS licensee application is filed later than six
months after certification to the Commission, the LMDS and non-GSO MSS
entities shall still cooperate fully and make reasonable efforts to
resolve technical problems, but the LMDS licensee shall not be
obligated to re-engineer its proposal or make changes to its system.
(4) LMDS licensees or applicants proposing to operate hub stations on
frequencies in the 29.1-29.25 GHz band at locations outside of the 100
largest MSAs or within a distance of 150 nautical miles from a set of
geographic coordinates specified under paragraph (c)(2) or (c)(3)(i) of
this section shall serve copies of their applications on all non-GSO
MSS applicants, permitees or licensees meeting the criteria specified
in § 25.257(a). Non-GSO MSS licensees or applicants shall serve copies
of their feeder link earth station applications, after the LMDS
auction, on any LMDS applicant or licensee within a distance of 150
nautical miles from the geographic coordinates that it specified under
paragraph (c)(2) or (c)(3)(i) of this section. Any necessary
coordination shall commence upon notification by the party receiving an
application to the party who filed the application. The results of any
such coordination shall be reported to the Commission within sixty
days. The non-GSO MSS earth station licensee shall also provide all
such LMDS licensees with a copy of its channel plan.
(z) 71,000-76,000 MHz; 81,000-86,000 MHz; 92,000-94,000 MHz;
94,100-95,000 MHz. (1) Those applicants who are approved in accordance
with FCC Form 601 will each be granted a single, non-exclusive
nationwide license. Site-by-site registration is on a first-come,
first-served basis. Registration will be in the Universal Licensing
System until the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announces by public
notice, the implementation of a third-party database. See 47 CFR
101.1523. Links may not operate until NTIA approval is received.
Licensees may use these bands for any point-to-point non-broadcast
service.
(2) Prior links shall be protected using the interference protection
criteria set forth in section 101.105. For transmitters employing
digital modulation techniques and operating in the 71,000-76,000 MHz or
81,000-86,000 MHz bands, the licensee must construct a system that
meets a minimum bit rate of 0.125 bits per second per Hertz of
bandwidth. For transmitters that operate in the 92,000-94,000 MHz or
94,100-95,000 MHz bands, licensees must construct a system that meets a
minimum bit rate of 1.0 bit per second per Hertz of bandwidth. If it is
determined that a licensee has not met these loading requirements, then
the database will be modified to limit coordination rights to the
spectrum that is loaded and the licensee will lose protection rights on
spectrum that has not been loaded.
