National Spectrum Strategy August Multistakeholder Meeting

This notice announces a public meeting for providing input to spectrum band studies directed by the National Spectrum Strategy and National Spectrum Strategy Implementation Plan, which instructed the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to establish a multistakeholder forum for non-Federal stakeholders to engage with the Federal agencies conducting the studies. This is the first of what NTIA expects will be a series of public multistakeholder meetings held approximately every other month.

In this meeting, the objectives, processes, timelines, and deliverables for obtaining input from the public will be discussed, with particular focus on the study of the 3.1-3.45 GHz and 7.125-8.4 GHz bands. In this meeting and in future meetings, NTIA will solicit targeted information from the public, including industry and academia, on spectrum use cases, coexistence scenarios, existing technology solutions, and technical inputs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background

The White House issued the National Spectrum Strategy on November 13, 2023, laying out a blueprint for American innovation, competition, and security in advanced wireless technologies. See the National Spectrum Strategy webpage. The National Spectrum Strategy directed detailed studies of certain spectrum bands to determine whether they may be repurposed for expanded or more efficient uses. To that end, NTIA and other Federal agencies are engaging in studies of the 3.1-3.45 GHz, the 7.125-8.4 GHz, and other spectrum bands. This series of meetings will ensure that the public can provide input to the spectrum band studies.
