How many localities can say they started a pursuit with a military tanker, not to mention the naked guy who attacked our rescue squad while riding his bicycle.

The @FCC's 6 GHz order, effective as of 7/27, will lead to irreversible harmful interference to public safety communications; we have now taken first-ever step to appeal this decision in federal court https://www.apcointl.org/download/petition-for-review-6ghz-order-dc-circuit-court/?wpdmdl=41092

Consistent with @APCOIntl, Land Mobile Communications Council urges @FCC to require new 6 GHz unlicensed entrants to prevent, promptly ID & eliminate interference to incumbents incl public safety rather than delegate responsibility to a stakeholder group https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10724698318888/LMCC%20Ex%20Parte%20ET%2018-295%20GN%2017-183%20%207-24-20.pdf

While @APCOIntl continues to try to convince @FCC to improve 6 GHz order to better protect public safety incumbent licensees from interference, we also make clear why it's a bad idea to delegate this responsibility to a multi-stakeholder group: https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10717853921301/APCO%20ex%20parte%20-%206%20GHz%20-%20July%2017%202020.pdf

Excellent contribution by NYC’s 911 center on the need for FCC rules to ensure the provision of dispatchable location information for indoor wireless 911 calls especially in urgent situations such as faced during the COVID-19 crisis: https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10710251443162/Notice%20of%20Ex%20Parte%20Doc.%2007-114.pdf

.@NPSTC adds its voice in urging @FCC to do more to require wireless carriers to provide floor labels and dispatchable location for 911 calls made from indoors https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1070856415928/NPSTC_911_Z-Axis_Letter_2020_07_08FINAL.pdf

.@APCOIntl explains why @FCC shouldn't adopt its draft order on wireless 911 location accuracy until it fixes unacceptable loopholes https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10707106718586/APCO%20ex%20parte%20-%20911%20Location%20July%202020%20Final.pdf

The @FCC's current rules will harm public safety communications in the 6 GHz band & must be fixed; it would be irresponsible of the FCC to further loosen restrictions that would lead to even more interference https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/106290135902318/APCO%20Comments%20-%206%20GHz%20FNPRM%20-%20June%202020%20Final.pdf
