Pentagon CIO backs national spectrum sharing demos

Pentagon CIO backs national spectrum sharing demos

The Department of Defense and the National Spectrum Consortium (NSC) are moving five industry-academia teams into field demonstrations to validate dynamic spectrum coexistence between defense systems and commercial networks. The focus is practical: prove that military radar, weapons systems, and electronic sensors can operate alongside commercial 5G/6G-class networks in the same bands without harmful interference. Experiments are slated to begin as early as November, with results feeding a follow-on study on dynamic spectrum operations mandated by the 2023 National Spectrum Strategy.

FCC Spectrum: Protect CBRS and 6 GHz

FCC Spectrum: Protect CBRS and 6 GHz
With the FCC under pressure to deliver 300 MHz of auctionable spectrum, a group of Senate Republicans is urging the agency to preserve the shared 3.5 GHz CBRS band and the unlicensed 6 GHz band that underpin private 5G and next‑gen Wi‑Fi. Ten Senate Republicans, including five members of the Senate Commerce Committee, sent a letter urging the FCC to ensure existing operations in the 6 GHz and Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) bands continue “without disruption.” NTIA Administrator Arielle Roth called for preserving 6 GHz for Wi‑Fi, a stance applauded by NCTA as a recognition that unlicensed spectrum is an economic engine.
