The workshop will take place on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at the Commission’s Headquarters in Washington, DC. The tentative agenda is below; a finalized agenda will be released prior to the workshop. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking lays the groundwork for the widespread deployment of small cell technologies in the 3.5 GHz Band, and would spur significant innovation in wireless technologies and applications throughout the economy, while protecting incumbent users in the Band. The goal of the workshop is to bring together top innovators and thinkers in the small cell, database management, and spectrum sharing fields to discuss technological developments. The workshop will explore small cell technology in the context of the 3.5 GHz Band as well as database and dynamic spectrum sharing technologies that could be utilized to manage access to the Band.
