Four 218-219 MHz FCC Licenses for Sale by Moglia Advisors as Fiduciaries for
IVDS Enterprises Joint Venture
Moglia Advisors is actively seeking purchase offers for four 218-219 MHz
licenses ideal for data transmission, meter reading, GPS usage, and other
applications for the greater metro areas of Denver-Boulder, CO, Little Rock-
North Little Rock, AR, Fort Wayne, IN, and Topeka, KS. These licenses, whose
range is located at the lower end of the radio spectrum band, have met the FCC
build-out requirements and offer excellent propagation characteristics for
distance, coverage and non line-of-sight applications. These low frequency
transmissions penetrate buildings and travel well through terrain obstructions
and foliage. Ideal for most industrial data applications, this licensed spectrum
has low risk of radio interference and allows for extreme reliability and security.
The spectrum can be divided for separate leasing and usage.
Letters of intent or expressions of interest are due by September 14, 2013.
218‐219 MHz Spectrum Applications 218‐219 MHz radio band spectrum is ideal for all kinds of data transmission and may be divided for separate leasing and multiple uses. The deployment of a wireless network with the 218-219 MHz spectrum would be useful for the following industries:
Utilities Wireless data transmission is an integral part of Smart Grid updating that is being undertaken today by most utilities. With this process, they can also remotely read meters and monitor customer usage and the proper operation of equipment. Such wireless data transmission increases efficiency and reduces the need for personnel. As an example, Pepco, in Washington, DC, has purchased the A and B 218-219 MHz licenses for use in its area.
Industrial/Home Security This wireless spectrum provides industrial home-safety and security companies the greatest reliability.
GPS and Fleet Management Tracking of vehicles, inventory, and maintenance schedules enhances accountability and efficiency. GPS tracking is actively done on the 218‐219 MHz frequency in Tucson, AZ where a user executes individual vehicle tracking and offers a teen tracking program for parents. The system logs a record of a particular vehicle’s driving locations. Currently, a TV station in Cincinnati and its sister station in Indianapolis track their news vans for best deployment for breaking stories.
Ports and Airports Container and baggage theft is a significant issue for ports and airports. Loss prevention and inventory control through wireless tracking promotes greater efficiency and profitability.
Railroads and Positive Train Control Congress has passed the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 which mandates a deadline of 2015 for the implementation of positive train control (PTC) technology across the U.S. rail network. Again, this 218‐219 MHz spectrum is ideal for this transmission as it penetrates dense obstructions and has no radio interference as it is a licensed spectrum. The Metropolitan Transit Authority of the City of New York has purchased one side of the New York license for this use. Container, personnel, and vehicle tracking, plus communications with machinery and personnel, add value to users of this spectrum.
General Usage 218‐219 MHz licensed spectrum is ideal for secure data transmission in most any environment without radio interference. It can be used for reading of meters and any kind of remote data collection such as equipment status, temperatures, flow rates, detection of failures and location of vehicles, containers, and personnel. Spectrum is finite—there is only so much available. Buyers can seize this opportunity to own access to these frequencies to ensure that their wireless business data transmission needs will be met.
