Abstract
In this document, the Commission revises its rules governing terrestrial fixed wireless services in the Upper 6 GHz Band and the 23 GHz Band by providing wider bandwidths and conditional authorization. Allowing wider bandwidth channels in the Upper 6 GHz Band makes an additional source of spectrum for high-capacity microwave links more readily available. Expanding conditional authority in the 23 GHz Band will enable licensees to activate microwave links more quickly, including links involved in critical commercial, backhaul, and public safety applications.
