 Ericsson comments on FCC draft recommendations to World Radiocommunication Conference Advisory Committee (WAC) Ericsson submitted comments to provide input to US positions for WRC-23. Our comments here focus on three issues: (i) our support of View A for Agenda Item 1.2 that would harmonize the full 3300-3800 MHz tuning range for IMT; (ii) our support of View B for Agenda Item 1.5 which proposes no change to the Radio Regulations for the 600 MHz band in Region 2; and (iii) our request that the Commission return the Agenda Item 10 proposal for lunar and cis-lunar communications to the WRC-23 Advisory Committee for stakeholder deliberation consistent with long-standing WAC practices. Beyond these issues, Ericsson is supportive of the positions that CTIA is taking in its comments in response to the Public Notice.
