No ICBM or atomic weapon can deter or prevent a crippling cyberattack.

AT&T has proposed to relocate the CBRS band and hold a reverse auction to evict PAL licence holders. As is expected, this has been bet my fierce opposition from CBRS users who are outraged at the plans. Full details in Mirva Villa's story below. IMO it is an odd proposal. The CBRS band is now well established in the US, and there have not been any hints that the FCC is interested in a radical change. In fact, the regulator often boasts about CBRS internationally and has actually been working to make a series of minor improvements to the regime, hinting at its long term commitment to the idea. That being said, measuring the "success" of CBRS is difficult. Yes, the band is providing value to thousands of licensees, but it is also possible that if we are measuring success by the number of sites, mobile operators could make more extensive use of the band. (Although this is likely a flawed measure of success). It will be up to the FCC to decide what is a better use, but evidence so far does suggest they are committed to maintaining a diverse cohort of users in CBRS.

In today's PolicyTracker story, we have a look at the reaction to AT&T's proposal that the #CBRS should be moved to different frequencies so MNOs can have more spectrum for 5G. AT&T says it's a win-win, as MNOs get 530 MHz of contiguous spectrum and CBRS users get 200 MHz—50 MHz more than they have currently. Those outside the mobile industry are not so sure. "AT&T doesn’t just want to kill competition in the CBRS band, they want exclusive control over spectrum currently shared among a diverse array of users," says Tamara Smith of Spectrum for the Future (members include the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance and the big US cable operators). "Odd as it may seem to AT&T, CBRS was not designed for carriers and 5G," said Harold Feld, Senior Vice President of Public Knowledge®. "This band does not need a disruptive makeover simply to benefit AT&T and other carriers." Full story: https://lnkd.in/eHj9wVZR

What is Cell Site Analysis? Cell Site Analysis, together with Radio Frequency Propagation Surveys (#rfps), is the technique of placing a #mobile device in a geographical area at a certain date and time using mobile #calldatarecords. A #cellsite report with mapping documents can show that a #mobilephone could have been in an area of interest at key times of relevance to the case.

Given that transmitted signal is picked from a signal set, what must the probabilities of points in the signal set must be to maximize capacity ? Here is my take:

New: A congressional probe of Chinese-built cargo cranes deployed at ports throughout the U.S. has found communications equipment that doesn’t appear to support normal operations, fueling concerns that the foreign machines may pose a covert national-security risk. The installed components in some cases include cellular modems, according to congressional aides and documents, that could be remotely accessed. The discovery of the modems by lawmakers, which hasn’t been previously reported, has added to concerns in Washington about port security and China. The Pentagon and intelligence officials at other agencies in the Biden administration have grown increasingly alarmed by the potential threat of disruption and espionage presented by the giant cranes built by ZPMC, a China-based manufacturer that accounts for nearly 80% of ship-to-shore cranes in use at U.S. ports. https://lnkd.in/eYqAttvN

WI-FI CHANNEL INTERFERENCE: We all know it's bad, but what affects it? Let's take a look at what causes channel interference, and why you may not want to eliminate all of it - and why sometimes turning off radios altogether may make sense.
