WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Three U.S. senators on Wednesday urged the Biden administration not to shift radio spectrum assigned to the Defense Department for military radar use in the lower 3 GHz band to 5G commercial wireless use.
Republican Deb Fischer, Democrat Mazie Hirono and independent Angus King -- who all serve on the Armed Services Committee -- wrote President Joe Biden saying "pursuing a policy of requiring the Department of Defense to surrender its spectrum for non-Federal use would significantly harm DOD’s ability to carry out its missions, increase costs, and adversely affect our national security."
Industry groups argue the lower 3 GHz band is used for 5G in nearly 50 countries and that shows commercial use can coexist with U.S. military radar systems.
