Abstract
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) establishes licensing and service rules for the 4940-4990 MHz band (4.9 GHz band). By this action, the FCC seeks to promote effective public safety communications and innovation in wireless broadband services in support of public safety. The FCC further endeavors to provide 4.9 GHz band licensees with the maximum operational flexibility practicable and to encourage effective and efficient utilization of the spectrum. The actions herein make significant strides towards ensuring that agencies involved in the protection of life and property possess the communications resources needed to successfully carry out their mission.
