WASHINGTON-DSC Communications Corp. announced it has filed a petition with the Federal Communications Commission requesting radio spectrum allocation within the 2 GHz band for wireless fixed access local loop services.
The wireless fixed access architecture comprised in DSC’s AirSpan product offers telecommunications access to customers via radio channels that support high-quality voice, 64 kilobits per second data and other services, said the company.
“Having used this technology in countries throughout the world, we realized its applicability to the U.S. marketplace, particularly with regard to the new domestic regulatory environment,” said DSC’s John Sergo, vice president of strategic planning. “All service providers in the telecommunications marketplace, from incumbent local exchange carriers to the new entrepreneurial licensees, can utilize this new product to rapidly bring new service to their customers.”
