Those frequencies have been added to the ribbon license already, equaling 10 channels each. The AAR holds the nationwide radio license for railroad use. Unfortunately, the current ATCS channels live in this part of the spectrum.Īs part of the reband, the FCC is alloting two 125kHz portions (896.000-896.125 and 935.000-935.125) to the AAR for future use, provided they transition & remove the current ATCS channels 1-6 by September of 2025. 3MHz of spectrum is to be used for wideband broadband. The FCC is reallocating 900MHz spectrum (896-901MHz and 935-940MHz) for broadband deployment.
