NATE Statement on FCC Proposal to Free-Up Valuable Midband Spectrum for 5G
(Washington, D.C.) – The NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association issued the following statement today from Jim Goldwater, its Director of Legislative & Regulatory Affairs, on the FCC’s latest spectrum proposal:
“NATE applauds FCC Chairman Ajit Pai for unveiling draft rules today that would reform the use of the C-band and make a large amount of spectrum available for 5G, the next generation of wireless technology. The plan appears to strike the right balance to free up access to critical midband spectrum while protecting incumbent users. Industry access to spectrum ultimately equates to more deployment opportunities for NATE member companies, which stand ready to convert these valuable airwaves into connectivity so that American enterprises and consumers can benefit from a 5G-driven economy.”
