The FCC, NTIA, FAA and industry are working to resolve interference to Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems used near airports that has occurred from some outdoor wireless systems operating in the 5470 MHz – 5725 MHz band. These wireless devices are subject to Section 15.407 of our rules and when operating as a master device they are required to implement radar detection and DFS functions. The Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology Laboratory Division is continuing its work to develop long-term equipment authorization test procedures that will ensure that the devices comply with rules that include protecting the TDWR operations. In the interim, the Commission will now allow certification of wireless master devices with radar detection function and with DFS capability, if they meet certain conditions.Read more from the FCC.
