System Interference Questionnaire
| Members
of the public safety, commercial services industry, and manufacturers
formed a joint task force to identify the scope and nature of the growing
trend of interference caused by localized placement of commercial service
transmitters. The problem has been associated with commercial ESMR operations,
but has also been identified with cellular operations as well. It has
been shown that several forms of cellular type operations are causing
"holes" in the normal coverage patterns of existing public safety radio
systems.
If your public safety radio system or one that you are familiar with
is experiencing such a problem, the FCC mandated the creation of a
central interference notification process to be created by the commercial
carrier industry. There is an Online Notification Website located
at http://www.publicsafety800mhzinterference.com
following this text. This website is a vehicle for complaints of radio
interference in the 800 MHz spectrum band. Public safety, critical
infrastructure industries, and B/ILT 800 MHz licensees can use this
site to submit a report to local wireless carriers about a particular
interference incident. Carriers operating within 5000 feet of the
reported interference will investigate, and those responsible for
any harmful interference will take action to resolve it.
