Nextel, in Reply Comments at 3, states that a 500 mW power output level would be appropriate for 800 MHz SMR systems.  X -x 20. Decision. Our goal is to allow licensees sufficient power to provide fillin coverage, without increasing a station's normal coverage area or the potential for interference. After analysis of the comments, we conclude that a power level higher than 500 mW would be more appropriate. We also conclude that specifying booster power in terms of ERP rather than output power would be the most effective way of minimizing interference. We are adopting a maximum signal booster output power level of 5 watts ERP per channel as recommended by a majority of the commenters. This will give licensees additional flexibility to meet their communications requirements without substantially increasing the interference  X4-potential.H14  X!-ԍ For example, the higher power will allow licensees to use isolators, filters or other interferencefighting components that they might otherwise not have used under the proposed power level. It will also allow a licensee to use fewer signal boosters to cover a weak or nosignal area. H Class A narrowband signal boosters will be limited to 5 watts ERP, and Class B broadband boosters to 5 watts ERP for each authorized frequency that the booster is designed" 10*((("  X-to amplify. 2 Xy-ԍ For example, a Class B broadband booster designed to amplify a 5channel 800 MHz trunked group would be type accepted with an ERP limit of 25 watts. No single channel, however, could operate at an ERP greater than 5 watts.   W<   W<Licensing requirements.   X-x 21. Proposal. In the Notice, we proposed to allow licensees to use signal boosters without separate authorizations from the Commission. Licensees would be required to use type accepted equipment and to ensure that all applicable rule requirements are met. The  Xa-Notice stated that because operation of a signal booster would be on frequencies already authorized to a licensee, and that the booster's signal must not extend beyond a station's normal coverage area, there should be little chance for interference to distant cochannel users. Therefore, there seemed to be little justification to create additional burdens for the licensee and the Commission by requiring a licensee to obtain a separate authorization for the operation of a signal booster.  X -x 22. Comments. Commenters generally agree that a separate authorization should not  X -be required for signal boosters.q3 K X-ԍ  See, for example, Comments of API at 4, ATG at 1, and TIA at 3. q Several, however, argue that some type of record is needed to facilitate the solution of interference problems caused by signal booster use. Motorola and UTC, for example, suggest that the licensee be required to keep records of signal booster  Xf-use.4f X-ԍ Comments of Motorola at 4, and UTC at 45. UTC also suggests that a booster be required to have an owner's identification label to facilitate locating a booster user. AMTA recommends that the licensee provide the Commission with information such  XO-as the licensee's call sign, contact person information, type of booster, and its location.@5O X-ԍ Comments of AMTA at 8.@ Geotek similarly recommends that a licensee notify the Commission of signal booster class,  X!-placement, and basic technical parameters.B6!I  X-ԍ Comments of Geotek at 5.B Nextel recommends a notice requirement for the use of a signal booster in the SMR service to identify the booster in the data base should  X-there be an interference problem.[7  X"-ԍ Comments of Nextel at 6 and Reply Comments at 3..[ PCIA suggests that an additional letter be added to a licensee's authorized station class if boosters are utilized, that the licensee provide a booster deployment letter to the Commission, and that a copy of the letter be provided to all adjacent  X-channel licensees.@8  X '-ԍ Comments of PCIA at 6.@ Other commenters express concern about the idea that signal boosters" \80*(("  X-would be "unlicensed".9 Xy-ԍ Comments of Arch/Airtouch at n.4; Reply Comments of Nextel at n.6; and Reply Comments of TX RX at 6.   X-x 23. Decision. The comments have not convinced us that licensees should have to obtain a separate authorization to operate signal boosters. A separate authorization in this  X-case would be both burdensome and unnecessary. As we stated in the Notice, signal boosters operate on frequencies already authorized to the licensee and cannot increase the coverage area provided by the licensee's base station, but only fill in weak or nosignal areas. The signal booster's low transmitting power further minimizes the potential for interference. For the same reasons, we see no basis to impose a notification requirement or require licensees to provide us with information on the location and use of signal boosters. In the unlikely case of interference, licensees should check with nearby cochannel and adjacent channel users to determine if such interference is caused by the use of a signal booster. Therefore, we will allow licensees to use signal boosters without a separate authorization. This is consistent with the Commission rules for cellular repeaters under 47 C.F.R  22.165, and police radar transmitters under 47 C.F.R.  90.19(g)(6).  X -    X{- V. CONCLUSION ă  XM-x 24. In this Report and Order, we are adopting rule changes that will permit licensees to use signal boosters on a routine basis, without separate authorization from the Commission, (1) in Part 22 public paging operations, (2) in Part 90 land mobile and paging operations, and (3) in Part 94 MAS operations. We believe this action will further the public interest by enabling licensees to improve radio system efficiency at less cost and without imposing an additional licensing burden on either the licensee or the Commission.
