  • facilities. Presently, base stations operating on the ``lower,'' i.e., 460 MHz, side of ATU frequency pairs are limited to a 20-watt TPO and may be used for base or mobile operations. PCIA proposes that we eliminate the maximum TPO restrictions on air terminal operations and that we instead use the standard 100-watt ERP limit reflected in Table 2 of Section 90.205 of our Rules. PCIA states that it does not wish to advocate arbitrarily increasing permissible power to a point which would unnecessarily cause interference to non-ATU operations. PCIA nonetheless contends that airport authorities are increasingly restricting permissible antenna locations at airports and asking for as much co-location as possible. PCIA asserts that the existing power limits are confusing and inconsistent

On May 12, 1998, Mobile Relay submitted to the Personal Communications Industry Association (PCIA), an FCC-certified frequency coordinator, an application for an Industrial/Business Radio Service license in the 450-470 MHz band. As submitted to PCIA, Mobile Relay's application sought to operate the proposed station with 500 watts effective radiated power (ERP). Section 90.205(g) of the Rules sets forth the maximum ERP for stations in the 450-470 MHz band, and provides that applicants seeking to deviate from the ERPs and antenna heights set forth therein must submit a technical analysis demonstrating that the requested station parameters will not produce a signal strength in excess of 39 dBu at any point along the edge of

Mountain West seeks reconsideration of the December 10, 2001, action of the Public Safety and Private Wireless Division, Licensing and Technical Analysis Branch (Branch) dismissing its modification application for Industrial/Business Pool Private Land Mobile Radio Station WPNP253, Boise, Idaho. For the reasons set forth below, we deny Mountain West's Petition. Background. Section 90.205(g) of the Commission's Rules sets forth the maximum effective radiated power (ERP) permitted for stations in the 450-470 MHz band. A station's maximum permissible ERP depends on its antenna height above average terrain and requested service area. An applicant requesting an ERP in excess of that set forth in Section 90.205(g) must submit an engineering study demonstrating that the requested

PCIA states that it does not wish to advocate arbitrarily increasing permissible power to a point which would unnecessarily cause interference to non-ATU operations.

On May 12, 1998, Mobile Relay submitted to the Personal Communications Industry Association (PCIA), an FCC-certified frequency coordinator, an application for an Industrial/Business Radio Service license in the 450-470 MHz band. As submitted to PCIA, Mobile Relay's application sought to operate the proposed station with 500 watts effective radiated power (ERP). Section 90.205(g) of the Rules sets forth the maximum ERP for stations in the 450-470 MHz band, and provides that applicants seeking to deviate from the ERPs and antenna heights set forth therein must submit a technical analysis demonstrating that the requested station parameters will not produce a signal strength in excess of 39 dBu at any point along the edge of
