Google files for experimental license to test in 2.5 GHz band in California

Google is seeking an experimental license from the FCC to perform tests in the 2.5 GHz band near its California headquarters, supplementing experiments already done in the 3.5 GHz band in Kansas City.

Not much else is revealed in the filing, the public version of which is heavily redacted for confidentiality reasons. Google argues that if the information were to be made public, it would cause significant commercial, economic and competitive harm. Google says its proposed operations will not cause harmful interference to other users of the 2.5 GHz band. If it receives any complaints about interference, it promises notify -- a redacted entity or entities -- immediately and cease operations on the leased transmission capacity until issues are resolved.
