Meshtastic's Opposition to Proposed Changes on 900 MHz Band


Why We Oppose NextNav's 900 MHz Proposal: A Threat to Open Communication Networks

As a community, we are raising our voices in opposition to this proposal, and here’s why we believe it’s crucial for all stakeholders, especially amateur radio operators, tech enthusiasts, and public safety advocates, to understand the ramifications of this change. NextNav’s proposal risks creating a barrier to entry, effectively widening the digital divide and excluding those who can’t afford to compete with larger entities for spectrum access. As part of our commitment to protecting the interests of our community and the broader public that relies on the 900 MHz band, Meshtastic has officially filed an opposition to NextNav’s proposed changes with the FCC.
