THE OFFICE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL 
TESTING OF TV WHITE SPACE DEVICES
ET Docket No. 04-186
On October 12, 2006, the Commission adopted a First Report and Order and Further Notice of 
Proposed Rule Making (First R&O and Further NPRM) in ET Docket Nos. 04-186 and 02-380, 
21 FCC Rcd 12266 (2006), on authorizing the operation of new low power devices in the TV 
broadcast spectrum at locations where individual channels/frequencies are not being used for 
authorized services (TV White Spaces).  In that action, the Commission stated that its Laboratory 
would conduct a testing program, including field testing, to assess the potential for interference 
from low power devices operating in the TV bands.
The Commission is committed to working with all parties to continue the process of 
investigating the potential performance capabilities of TV white space devices in an open and 
transparent manner. To that end, the Laboratory will be conducting additional laboratory and 
field testing of prototype devices. 
Further details about the testing will be released at a later date and made available on the 
Commission’s Internet site (www.fcc.gov).
Parties that would like to submit devices for testing should advise OET as soon as possible and 
should deliver their device at their earliest opportunity.  To arrange delivery of a device, please
contact Patricia Goff at 301-362-3001 or patricia.goff@fcc.gov.
Parties interested in observing the testing should contact Patricia Goff at 301-362-3001 or 
patricia.goff@fcc.gov.  Members of the press interested in covering the testing should contact the 
Office of Media Relations. OMR contact: Clyde Ensslin at 202-418-0506 or
