done today?
Background
REBANDING
Why are we doing this anyway?
1980’s SMR systems
Public Safety and
Commercial Systems used
“High” Sites
1990’s Nextel System used Cellular Technology
Public Safety Used “High”
Sites
Nextel used Low Cellular
sites
This created the “Near/Far
problem”
Mesquite, TX March 2, 2004
FCC Decision
• Short term – FCC will establish “Enhanced Best Practices” to address
interference problems.
• Long term – 800 MHz band will be reconfigured
• FCC established a “Transition Administrator” to oversee the Rebanding
process
• Timeline
– Licensees in first 120 channels in Top 20 regions must be rebanded within 18
months of the Transition Administrator notification
– Entire country complete within 36 months of notification
• Canadian and Mexican border areas will be addressed through the treaty
process at a later date
FCC Decision
Con’t
• Sprint Nextel gets 10 MHz at 1.9 GHz nationwide once all
their commitments are complete
– FCC values entire deal at $4.8 billion
• Funding
– Sprint Nextel turns in their 700 MHz guard band and all 800 MHz
spectrum below 862.0125
– FCC will require Sprint Nextel to establish escrow accounts and a
letter of credit for $2.5 billion to ensure adequate funding
• Additional spectrum for public safety
– Any 800 MHz channels not used for relocation will be available to PS
licensees for 3 years
– After that they are available to PS and CII (critical infrastructure
industries) for 2 more years
– Thereafter available to all business, industrial, public safety and noncellular SMRs

Preparation of Estimate--Considerations
• Estimate is limited to Motorola costs only (no Licensee costs included)
• Motorola is not responsible to remedy any existing issues
discovered during the discovery or "health-check" processes
• Costs for frequency coordination and licensing are not included
• Pricing estimate assumes only touching the subscriber units once
for inventory purposes
• All work quoted is conducted during standard business hours;
Monday-Friday 8am-5pm
– Are there unique logistical circumstances to consider
• If bi-directional amplifiers exist, they must be inventoried
• Must capture unique customer configuration, operation or
components
