5 GHz accord reached

Jan. 31, 2003 
6:33 PM EST

The Bush administration and industry reached agreement supporting a global allocation of 5
GHz spectrum for unlicensed wireless technologies that would operate at power levels that
do not interfere with military radar, culminating months of intense negotiations and
strengthening the U.S. position for the World Radicommunication Conference this summer in
Geneva. 

U.S. delegates will bring the newly forged deal on 5 GHz to its neighbors to the south at
a meeting this week of the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission in Orlando, Fla. 

The deal was brokered by the Federal Communications Commission, the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration, Department of Defense and high-tech
industry advocates. Separately, NTIA and the FCC on Friday announced they signed a new
memorandum of understanding to coordinate spectrum used by government and non-government.
