Conclusion - National Spectrum Strategy 37 GHz Spectrum Sharing Report
Developing a National Spectrum Strategy
The Lower 37 GHz band presents a unique opportunity to advance what the NSS describes as the “potential expanded governmental and non-governmental use for an array of advanced, next-generation applications and services.” A simple coordination framework to facilitate sharing based on "first-in” user rights that protects “second in” access will advance the long-standing vision for this co-primary band of co-equal access for Federal and non-Federal users. Further, this innovative sharing framework can be made possible by ensuring that adjacent band protections for passive space-based sensors are addressed in accordance with the recommendations to address the interference risk of new deployments of in the Lower 37 GHz band. We look forward to the next steps in implementing coexistence measures that advance a range of sharing innovations for this spectrum.
