Automatic Vehicle Monitoring Systems

In this Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Commission addresses the remaining issues raised by petitioners for reconsideration of its Report and Order in PR Docket No. 93-61, 60 FR 15248 (March 23, 1995), which established rules governing the licensing of the Location and Monitoring Service (LMS) in the 902-928 MHz band. The Commission resolved other issues raised by petitioners in an Order on Reconsideration in this docket. 61 FR 18981 (April 30, 1996). This item clarifies interconnection limitations for multilateration LMS, as well as other issues raised on reconsideration, such as operational parameters for non-multilateration systems, treatment of other users of the 902-928 MHz band, the structure of the spectrum allocation plan, the geographic service area for licensing multilateration LMS, and the licensing of wideband forward links. The intended effect of this action is to minimize potential interference within and among users of the 902-928 MHz band.
