FCC VHF/UHF Narrowbanding
The FCC Narrowbanding mandate goes into effect on January 1, 2013, all public safety and business industrial land mobile radio systems operating Voice Systems in the 150-174 MHz (VHF) and 421-512 MHz (UHF) and 800Mhz radio bands must cease operating using 25 kHz radio systems technology, and begin operating using at least 12.5 kHz. For Data systems the data speed efficiency requirement is 12.5kbs on narrowband or 19.2kbs or greater to maintain 25khz bandwidth channels. This deadline is the result of an FCC effort that began almost two decades ago to ensure more efficient use of the spectrum and greater spectrum access for public safety and non-public safety users.
After January 1, 2013, licensees not operating at 12.5 KHz efficiency will be in violation of the Commission's rules and could be subject to FCC enforcement action, which may include admonishment, monetary fines, or loss of license.
RadioMobile designs and develops dispatch and mobile applications that comply with the upcoming narrowband mandate.
