BEIJING, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reportedly announced a proposed new policy on Wednesday, local time, to provide the market's increasingly popular drones need to apply for a license to use the radio communications band, the frequency is located in the 5G Hertz band.

Currently, drones in the United States generally use a range of radio frequencies that do not require a license and are subject to the FCC's regulatory requirements for low-power wireless communications, and some drones use experimental radio spectrum licenses.

In addition to the above-mentioned plan to provide 5G Hz spectrum resources specifically for drones, the FCC also announced that it will solicit community input on whether the current regulatory regime for radio communications can ensure that drones and terrestrial mobile communications can operate "interference-free" at the same time.

In addition, the FCC also proposed another proposed regulatory regime that would require U.S. agencies flying drones to apply for a radio license in the VHF band used by civil aviation if they want to communicate with civil air traffic control agencies and other civil aircraft.

The FCC chairman said that as new technologies and products such as drones emerge, the FCC must ensure that the U.S. radio frequency regulatory system adapts to the new needs, and that the new regulatory system is important for U.S. disaster recovery, emergency relief, forest fire suppression and other efforts.

Currently, U.S. drones are operated remotely, so they rely heavily on wireless communications between ground control sites and airborne drones to ensure proper flight, the FCC said.

The FCC said that with the growing popularity of drones in the United States, the risk of drone operations is increasing, such as some large drones will be transporting cargo or personnel, or into the airspace traditionally used by civilian airliners, which makes the drone operators a new demand for more reliable, non-interference radio frequency resources.
