White Spaces Information and Resources

At TC Furlong we are working closely with industry pros to get the real story on what is happening with what we call “The White Spaces Issue.”  Visit this page frequently to stay up to date with events concerning the impending wireless spectrum reallocation and auction, and to learn how it may affect use of production wireless equipment, including wireless microphones, in-ear monitoring systems, and intercom.

CONSUMER ALERT

Most users do not need a license to operate productions systems.  Nevertheless, operating production wireless systems without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection for interference received from any other device.  Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change.  For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC's wireless microphone website at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones.
