Discussion Points
IEEE has a record of successful spectrum sharing between licensed and unlicensed use
Part 15 REQUIRES licensed services to be protected
Protection of radars in the 5 GHz band has been a major success
Even the weather radar industry, the most vocal critic of DFS, now publicly states that DFS works to protect their radars
The FCC three years ago re-opened the MHz band, as they were convinced that DFS does protect the incumbents
All interference received was from devices with non functioning DFS
Older systems, before DFS was required
Rogues that turn off DFS or move non-DFS channel devices into the band; all enforcement issues
TVWS has not had sufficient deployments to judge efficacy
Agenda

Discussion Points [2]
The Wi-Fi industry has engaged a major engineering firm to study all of the issues in the four discrete segments of these bands
Interference mitigation studies will show that all incumbents will be protected…or the FCC will not allow Wi-Fi in these bands
Ruling that unlicensed cannot share in these bands would be a major blow to the growth of the primary wireless onramp to the Internet, to the detriment of American people, business and services that rely heavily on Wi-Fi
