On August 12, 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
("D.C. Circuit") struck down a challenge to a 2020 Report and Order by
the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") which
reallocates 45 MHz of the 5.850-5.925 GHz spectrum band ("5.9 GHz
band") for commercial unlicensed use, including Wi-Fi and similar
services. Specifically, the FCC designated the 5.850-5.895 GHz portion
for unlicensed use, while allocating the 5.895-5.925 GHz section for intelligent transportation system ("IT\ S") operations.
