IEEE 802 supports the allocation of further unlicensed bands above 28 GHz. This will greatly support our current efforts in standardising wireless systems operating in these frequency bands.
The proposal to authorize operations in the GHz band would help to bring US regulations more in line with Japan, Europe and South Korea. Task Group IEEE e is developing a standard, that can provide close-proximity services in the bands from 59.4 GHz to GHz.
Although we notice, that the current considerations in the NPRM are limited to frequency bands below 100 GHz, IEEE 802 would like to inform FCC, that within our Task Group IEEE d a standard operating at the bands 252 to 325 GHz is being developed.
