I agree that it's very unclear why that is required.
The source IP (v4 or v6) address for the record update, along with the timestamp of update, is already sufficiently identifying, and would be obtained even offhand in a query process to check a given area for interference issues.
The requirement to use GPS also practically mandates that these routers HAVE a GPS receiver inside.
My biggest worries relate to the cost and probable barrier to projects like OpenWRT supporting these devices.
- ac29 6y agoIts required because there are existing, licensed users of that spectrum who have a legal right not to be interfered with. Its a compromise - it allows licensed users to continue to operate without interference, but also allows the spectrum to be used without a license in areas where doing so wouldnt create interference.
- tradertef 6y agoFCC rules do not require usage of GPS. It could be any technology, details TBD. Higher accuracy returns more available spectrum.
