Re: [STDS-802-11-REG] FW: Wireless microphone rules reconsideration



Hi Edward,

 

   Seek legal counsel for definitive answers.

 

   Some background is in FCC 10-16 http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-16A1.pdf

 

  My understanding of the current microphone registrations:

   The registration is limited to areas with more than 100 microphones in use,

   Registration is allowed operations at up to three areas each of a maximum area, each no more than 4 km from the others, for up to 720 area-hours per year.

>>"rent" the licensed allocations from the venue operator<<

   It is my understanding that the venue’s allocation is not licensed, but is assigned and protected for up to 720 area-hours per year.

 

   Maybe one of the database providers can point to the current parameters for wireless microphone registration.

Hi Peter, Rich:

 

One question I have that affects one of my clients is how this change would affect professional sound system providers that travel with a particular performing group as they perform in several of these special venues while on tour?

 

Does the traveling sound system provider get to use the venue's licensed allocations for their system?

Or are they required to squeeze into whatever unlicensed spectrum might be available in that venue?

 

In other words, can the traveling sound system provider "borrow" or "rent" the licensed allocations from the venue operator for use on their own equipment?

FCC DA 12-1570 asks whether to authorize licensed wireless microphone use at certain large theaters, entertainment complexes, sporting arenas, and religious facilities, because these venues might need the assurance of interference protections afforded Part 74 licensees.

 

One might ask how much white space will remain at certain large theaters, entertainment complexes, sporting arenas, and religious facilities

By this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and the Office of Engineering

and Technology invite interested parties to update and refresh the record pertaining to two specific issues

raised in the Commission’s 2010 Wireless Microphones Further Notice1 – (1) whether the Commission

should provide for a limited expansion of license eligibility that would permit some wireless microphone

and other low power auxiliary station users, which currently operate in the TV broadcast spectrum on an

unlicensed basis, to operate on a licensed basis under the Part 74 rules applicable to low power auxiliary

stations (LPAS); and (2) what steps the Commission should take to promote more efficient use of this

spectrum by wireless microphones.2 We ask that these comments take into consideration recent industry

developments, including advances in wireless microphone technologies, as well as related Commission

proceedings that affect use of wireless microphones, including the TV White Spaces proceeding3 and the

Incentive Auctions proceeding proposing auction of spectrum currently allocated to television

Broadcasting.
