The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has reorganized the UHF
television spectrum, which is also used by many wireless microphones, wireless
in-ear monitors, wireless production intercom systems, and other professional
wireless audio and video equipment. The spectrum between 698 and 806 MHz—known
as the “700 MHz band”—has been reserved for exclusive use by Public Safety
agencies and licensed wireless service providers.
The FCC has ordered that wireless microphones, in-ear monitors, and
related equipment must cease operations in the 700 MHz band (698–806 MHz) after
June 12, 2010, or earlier under certain conditions. This rule change does not
apply to wireless systems that operate in other frequency ranges—only systems
that operate on frequencies between 698 and 806 MHz are affected.
The order applies to all wireless system users regardless of whether the user
holds an FCC license. The order also requires microphone users to cease
operations in specified 700 MHz frequencies within 60 days upon receipt of a
notice from a wireless carrier or public safety entity authorized to use the
spectrum, or, alternatively, within 60 days of the release of an FCC Public
Notice specifying that certain 700 MHz frequencies are no longer available for
wireless system use in a particular market.
