US Senators weigh in on LTE-U, Wi-Fi debate
2015-07-31 11:02:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) A group of US Senators have written to the FCC expressing concern that the roll-out of LTE-U could disrupt Wi-Fi services. The FCC has been holding a consultation on the use of LTE technology in the unlicensed spectrum bands used for Wi-Fi. Responses to date show that the industry is divided on whether the services can co-exist in the band. The group of six Senators said they are concerned "that without proper coordination and management, LTE-U may harm Wi-Fi operations". They want the FCC to take action before commercial deployments of LTE-U go ahead. They want the FCC to initiate a process that allows industry stakeholders to develop an effective sharing solution for the spectrum, as has been developed with other technologies in the past. This could include a series of meetings led by the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology to ensure that constructive dialogue between technical experts continues in an open and neutral forum and to promote continued work on effective spectrum sharing mechanisms.

Two U.S. senators today filed a bill that would require the federal government to establish standards to ensure automakers secure a driver against vehicle cyber attacks. The Security and Privacy in Your Car Act , filed by Sens. Edward Markey and Richard Blumenthal , also establishes a rating system - or "cyber dashboard"- that informs consumers about how well the vehicle protects drivers' security and privacy beyond the proposed federal minimum standards.
