Transportation Community Urges FCC to Protect Critical Spectrum

February 13, 2013

The spectrum is set aside for connected vehicle technology – which is expected to save thousands of lives each year – from potentially harmful interference that could result from allowing unlicensed Wi-Fi-based devices to operate in the band.
