National Spectrum Strategy Update: Funding Approved for Lower 3 GHz and 7/8 GHz Band Studies

Blog
We are thrilled to announce that all agency requests for funding to complete the Lower 3 GHz and 7/8 GHz band studies have been approved by the Technical Panel established by the Commercial Spectrum Enhancement Act. Building a spectrum pipeline takes real engineering and operational effort. That’s why Congress had the wisdom to make research, development, and planning resources—appropriately called “pipeline” funding—available from the Spectrum Relocation Fund (SRF) in the Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2015.  Congress directed that proceeds from auctions of repurposed Federal spectrum be deposited into the SRF and that 10% of deposits after enactment be made available for approved pipeline activities.  It thus ensured spectrum auctions “pay it forward” and sustain our progress in meeting the Nation’s growing spectrum access needs.

Joint Statement by the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration on a Co-Equal, Shared-Use Framework in the Lower 37 GHz Band

Press Release

In November 2024, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) completed a study of the Lower 37 GHz band (37-37.6 GHz), paving the way for a co-equal, shared-use framework for government and commercial users in this “innovation band.”  It represents the first deliverable under the National Spectrum Strategy directive to examine a key set of bands to ensure U.S. leadership in spectrum-based services now and into the future.

How Lasers Can Light the Path to Spectrum Sharing

Blog

By: NTIA

Lidar, a sensing method that uses light waves, has been around since the 1960s when the United States developed it as a military technology for defense and aerospace uses. But the advent of publicly-available lidar data has made it a crucial tool for helping radio scientists inside and outside of government better predict where objects like trees and buildings will likely interrupt a wireless signal. These more accurate predictions can enable more opportunities for government and non-government users to share the airwaves.

Remarks of Assistant Secretary Alan Davidson on Meeting the AI Moment

Speech/Testimony
It is terrific to be back at CES. Not to date myself too much, but my first CES was something like 20 years ago. I do love walking the floor. And it is gratifying for NTIA to see how so much of our work – spectrum, broadband, AI policy – is reflected as an enabler of the innovations here.
