DSRC final rule published in Federal Register

The Federal Communications Commission has published notice in the Federal Register of the final report and order for dedicated short range communications (DSRC) in the 5.9-GHz band.

In this document the commission adopts licensing and service rules for the Dedicated Short Range Communications Service (DSRCS) in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Radio Service in the 5.850-5.925-GHz band (5.9-GHz band), effective Oct. 4, 2004. This action promotes a nationwide solution to the transportation safety challenges faced by all Americans and follows the commission's earlier allocation of this radio spectrum for DSRCS.

FCC rules allow a 30-day period for reconsideration or clarification (Sept. 2, 2004).
