ADVISORY/SkyCross Urges FCC To Select Higher Frequency For 3G Spectrum Allocation; Warns Lower Frequency Could Require Bulky Antennas And Hinder Performance.Business Editors/Technology Writers ADVISORY... MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2001 CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Available to Discuss Comments Submitted to FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. SkyCross Inc., a leading developer of advanced wireless antenna solutions, has urged the Federal Communications Commission Federal Communications Commission (FCC), independent executive agency of the U.S. government established in 1934 to regulate interstate and foreign communications in the public interest. to allocate 3G services to the higher frequency bands of spectrum, as part of its response to the Federal Communications Commission's request for comments on 3G spectrum allocation. In its comments, SkyCross explained that antenna design and performance are linked to the specific frequency band of use. SkyCross specifically recommended that the FCC consider three criteria for allocating spectrum for 3G services: antenna size, separation of paired services and proportional bandwidth. "We believe that as the world transitions to third generation devices, consumers will continue to demand physically smaller and lighter wireless devices," explained Al Haase, CEO of SkyCross. "And antenna size is inversely proportional See See also: Inversely to its frequency. So, the higher the frequency for 3G services, the smaller the antenna can be designed." In addition, SkyCross noted to the FCC that the spacing between the uplink and downlink Transmitting from a satellite to an earth station. Contrast with uplink. bands for 3G services has a significant impact on antenna performance--the smaller the spacing, the better the performance. SkyCross also explained that the FCC needs to consider the overall bandwidth that the antenna would need to cover for 3G services. If the percentage of bandwidth is too great for a single antenna to operate over, the result could be poor reception and wasted transmitter power by the wireless device.
