1.3. 4.9 GHz PSB Frequency Band Plan
The 4.9 GHz band ranges from 4940.5-4989.5 MHz and can be segregated out
using 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz of bandwidth.
1.4. 4.9 GHz PSB Licensing Requirements
A 4.9 GHz band license gives the licensee authority to operate on any
authorized channel in this band within the applicant's legal jurisdiction such as city,
county, or state. The 4.9 GHz band is shared by all licensees, who must coordinate
their usage of the band with other licensees within their areas of authority. The 4.9
GHz licenses are granted for a 10-year term.
The license gives authority to construct and operate:
¾
Any number of base stations anywhere within the area authorized by the license

such fixed stations must license them individually on a site-by-site
basis. Such
fixed operation will be authorized only on a secondary, non-interference basis to
base, mobile and temporary fixed operations.
1.5. 4.9 GHz PSB Peak Power Limits
The transmitting power of radios operating in the 4940-4990 MHz band must
not exceed the following maximum limits:
