FCC
Loea has a strong history with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) – leading the approval of the 70/80GHz millimeter wave spectrum and introducing the first FCC-approved product in this frequency band.
All Loea products are FCC-certified. Failure to comply with FCC certifications can result in radio link redeployment, or worse, complete removal of a system.
"Thanks to Loea Corporation - the party that petitioned for the rulemaking we begin today, the other innovators in the bands, and the hard work of OET and the WTB, with today's Notice we begin to open a new spectrum frontier for the American people."
"As currently conceived the 70, 80 and 90 GHz bands will use "pencil beams" of radio energy to transmit data relatively short distances between fixed sites. In many cases there could be thousands of these "hops" in a relatively small geographic area - because of the narrow beam it is believed multiple systems can co-exist without interference. This deployment model is unlike anything we have ever seen and may require new thinking on the appropriate licensing approach."
- FCC Commissioner Kathleen Q. Abernathy--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz bands - which have wavelengths of about three to five millimeters - have never before been used commercially, and it was previously unclear how these bands could be used. Now, commercial interests are experimenting with different uses for these bands, and this spectrum may ultimately be used commercially for high-speed wireless local area networks, broadband access systems for the Internet, point-to-point communications, and point-to-multipoint communications. I am glad that, through this rulemaking, we can enable these kinds of commercial uses.
