[QUOTE="Jason Glass, post: 6859, member: 2167"] On March 1, 2013, the FCC announced the authorization of unlicensed TVBD or "white space devices" databases for use by devices nationwide. The public notice can be examined at [URL]http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2013/db0301/DA-13-324A1.pdf[/URL] The commission had previously authorized use in the eastern region of the USA, back in December 2012. This is a big deal to wireless microphone users. I am posting it here because I feel that this precursor indicates that a national rollout of TVBDs will begin soon, directly impacting the way we pro audio engineers do our work. Unlicensed wireless microphone users are expected to protect themselves from interference caused by roaming TVBD's by knowing exactly what wireless equipment and frequencies they will be using at specific locations at least 30 days before use, and by requesting registration of their event at least 30 days in advance at authorized database providers like this one: [URL]http://whitespaces.spectrumbridge.com/protectedentityregistration/lowpowerauxunlicensedregistration.aspx[/URL]. Requests will be subject to review before they are granted. Broadcast Auxiliary Service Low Power licensees have immediate access to the database to enter the channels, location, date, and time that they will be operating wireless equipment. The entries are supposed to propagate through the national system within one hour of entry, and TVBD's are presumed to access the database before transmitting. One portal can be found at [URL]https://whitespaces.spectrumbridge.com/protectedentityregistration/lowpowerauxregistration.aspx[/URL]. FYI, neither I nor my company are affiliated in any way with Spectrum Bridge. [/QUOTE]
