AT&T, Sirius XM Reach Compromise On 2.3 GHz Band

Jun 19, 2012, 11:08 AM by Rich Brome @rbrome.bsky.social

AT&T this week announced a new proposal to the FCC for rules governing the 2.3 GHz band, in which AT&T owns licenses that it wishes to use for 4G LTE service. The band - also knows as the WCS band - is close to the bands used by Sirius XM for satellite radio, creating the risk of interference. The new proposal is the product of discussions and compromise between AT&T and Sirius XM. If the FCC accepts and implements the new proposal, it will enable AT&T to deploy LTE efficiently in the 2.3 GHz band. The band has been tied up in regulatory disputes since it was auctioned off by the FCC in 1997.

This band is a myth

This frequency band doesnt really exist. It's like the missing 13th floor from apartment buildings. Is it really there? Does it exist ? I've never heard of this band, why would it even be Auctioned off (read: SOLD) for a profit if it can't even be used ? Also - at&t is compromising with somebody ? SINCE WHEN !?
