In this podcast, Furchgott-Roth discusses the book, his roles in Congress and at the FCC, the current controversy over 5G mmWave interference, and the role of the World Radio Conference in setting standards for spectrum use around the world.
Will 5G Kill Weather Forecasting?
NOAA’s simulations of 5G’s impact on weather sensors are inadequate and there’s very little time to get them right. The wireless industry needs to lend a hand.
You Don’t Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows: Delaying Spectrum Auctions
Satellite-based systems are also vertical on nature, while 5G is a horizontal, land-based system. So it appears that a political constituency has asked for an unnecessary delay in order to protect itself from the consequences of 5G.
Sharing Federal Spectrum by Contract
Applications that can’t be supported by LTE and its progeny probably can be supported by a small number of alternative technologies that have commercial applications. So sharing by contract should be the default mode.
