The fact is, the spectral home for the proposed 700-MHz broadband wireless
network for public safety is occupied in some parts of the country by
narrowband public-safety communications systems. Obviously, before there can be
a
nationwide broadband network on these airwaves, these incumbent narrowband
networks have to be relocated.


If this sounds conceptually similar to 800-MHz rebanding, it is. Thankfully,
it should not be as complicated, as there are relatively few agencies that
have deployed 700-MHz narrowband systems and they’ve all been installed
recently with fairly new equipment that can be relocated more easily, so the
technical issues are not nearly as great.


Still, it has to get done.
