Additional Protected Federal Sites
Developing a National Spectrum Strategy
DoD continues to evaluate the list of protected military sites under Part 30 to ensure that the list reflects current and emerging mission requirements. An example of future bases and installations for which DoD may need additional protections if user needs cannot be accommodated in the Lower 37 GHz band in the future are sites that focus on 5G prototyping and experimentation. Examples of sites that may merit further study for this purpose in the future are listed in the table below and range from the U.S. Marine Corps 5G range (Twentynine Palms, California) to the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) (Monterey, California).
