title: FCC to begin issuing licenses for use of mobile radios in the 460 to 470 MHz band.
abstract: The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has stated that after December 31, 2005, it will begin issuing licenses for use of private land mobile radios (PLMRs) in the 460 to 470 MHz frequency band. Medical telemetry systems operating in this band after December 31 will therefore be at increased risk for interference, which could compromise patient safety. Any medical facility in the vicinity of a PLMR could be affected.
