COMSEARCH'S ROLE AS A DATABASE MANAGER
Comsearch entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to develop and manage a microwave link registration database for FCC licensees operating in the 71-76, 81-86, and 92-95 GHz bands. Comsearch was chosen to be a database manager based on three decades of experience in database development, frequency coordination and spectrum management.
Comsearch's role as a database manager permits licensees to identify available spectrum in these bands and register their links, ensuring interference-free operation. Our database offers upfront interference analysis with commercial systems as well as automatic coordination with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).

ABOUT THE 70-90 GHz BAND
The Federal Communications Commission allocated 12.9 GHz of spectrum in the 71-95 GHz range, thus enabling high quality multi-gigabit point-to-point communications. When making their decision, the FCC recognized that the 71-76, 81-86, and 92-95 GHz bands were undeveloped and available for new uses.
These are the highest bands yet licensed by the FCC. Possible uses for the bands include a fiber substitute for last mile connectivity, local loop access, central office bypass, as well as local, metro, and wide area network access. Links can operate at ranges of approximately 1 mile and are characterized by their highly directional "pencil beams". These characteristics allow for excellent frequency reuse since systems can be engineered to operate in close proximity to one another without causing interference.
