FCC Narrowbanding - Countdown to the Narrowbanding Deadline 622 days
FCC Narrowbanding Requirements
Most current radio systems use 25 kHz-wide channels. The FCC has mandated that all licensees using 25 kHz radio systems migrate to narrowband 12.5 kHz channels by January 1, 2013. The order affects systems on VHF and UHF channels between 150 and 512 MHz Licensees that do not meet the deadline face the loss of license. Application for modification of operations that expand the authorized contour of an existing station using 25 KHz channels will NOT be accepted after January 1, 2011. (Also applies to "new" systems submitted for licensing.) Manufacture and importation of any equipment on 25 KHz channel will NOT be permitted after January 1, 2011. Part 90 “paging-only” frequencies are exempt from this ruling. Low Band VHF systems BELOW 150 MHz are not affected by this ruling. Licensees need to start planning now to migrate to narrowband systems by assessing their current radio equipment and applying for new or modified licenses.
What This Means to licensees
All existing Part 90 radio systems operating on frequencies between 150-512 MHz have to convert those systems either to 12.5 kHz bandwidth or to a technology that provides one voice path per 12.5 kHz of bandwidth or provides a data rate of 4800 bps/6.25 kHz. This Deadline is not expected to be extended any further by the FCC, having done so once already. Licensees will be required to certify to the Commission that they have made the technical necessary changes and are using narrowband equipment. Licensees that do not meet this deadline will be cancelled by the FCC and relicensing of cancelled systems will become very difficult.
What does this have to do with RMTD? As I see it, RMTD has a head start in that field of communication.
