WASHINGTON: Two U.S. senators on Monday urged the Federal Communications Commission<\/a> to move quickly to grant some automakers<\/a> and universities the ability to use some spectrum to deploy connected vehicle technology aimed at preventing crashes.
Senators Gary Peters<\/a> and Cynthia Lummis urged the FCC<\/a> to approve \"waiver requests to enable deployment of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology in the 5.9
GHz spectrum band. C-V2X technology is poised to save lives, (and) will pave the way for the future of automobile and transportation infrastructure.\" The FCC said in November 2020 it intended to offer waivers. The senators said it has received 18 waiver requests, and none have yet been granted.
