EWA Files Comments in Support of AURA Networks Petition for Rulemaking

EWA submitted comments on September 24 supporting the Petition for Rulemaking filed by AURA Network Systems OpCo LLC and A2G Communications LLC seeking authority to serve Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) on their Part 22 AGRAS channels. In supporting the rule changes requested, EWA stated: “There already is an extensive record in support of adding provision of service to UAS to the permitted operations on AGRAS spectrum.” It added, “It is understandable that much of the FCC’s attention is focused on spectrum bands with the ability to deliver broadband capabilities to consumers. EWA encourages the Commission also to devote appropriate resources to proceedings such as this that promise to retool an historically underutilized band to meet modern communications needs.”
