Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) July 17, 2012
GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of its FCC Licensing and Engineering Services for corporations working in the telecommunications space.
Speaking to the press, Mr. Vijay Kulkarni, CEO of the company said, One of the key functions of FCC is to insure that radio/wireless communications services of various operators operate free of interference from one another. Parameters that influence potential interference include frequency of operation, guard band, modulation techniques, RF output power, receiver sensitivity, emission designators, antenna orientation, distance to adjacent repeaters, path profile, etc. Operators need to insure that technical parameters of radio systems fall within specific FCC guidelines.
For example, FCC has allocated 50 MHz bandwidth for public safety applications in 4.9 GHz band spread over 18 channels, ranging from 1 MHz to 5 MHz in channel width. Types of licenses one can obtain in this band are general, primary, secondary, permanent fixed point-to-point, etc. Approach to obtaining an FCC license will depend on the application. Therefore, understanding the needs, technology and bandwidth requirements is important.
He added, Any agency licensed by the FCC will have the right to use the entire 4940-4990 MHz frequency band. Therefore, interference is a matter of concern in this band due to multiple agencies sharing the spectrum in a given area. The interference can, however, be minimized or possibly be even eliminated with proper frequency planning, system design, and use of good directional antennas. Generally, multiple agencies work together in finding a technical solution to resolve interference issues, if any, and many jurisdictions have set up Regional Planning Committees to coordinate frequency planning.
Obtaining a license is a pre-requisite to commence services in licensed frequency bands and it is a highly specialized task requiring tremendous amount of engineering. Operators need to submit a variety of information and supporting documents.
Mr. Kulkarni further added, GL has provided technical and engineering support to obtain FCC licenses for a large number of commercial, cellular, transit, and public safety land mobile radio operators nationwide. Applications include point-to-point line of sight, cellular/PCS, Wi-Max/ Wi-Fi/WLAN.
GL has also developed in-house a variety of design tools that are necessary for analysis and contour studies as per FCC rules and regulations 47 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations).
