On Oct. 29, 2024, the Security Industry Association (SIA) sent a letter signed by 92 security businesses and organizations conveying a strong, industrywide message to Capitol Hill urging members of Congress to weigh in with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on a proposal that would restructure the Lower 900 MHz frequency.

As explained in a recent SIA post on the issue, the proposed licensing and rulemaking would affect alarm, electronic access and security camera technologies, among other security and life safety equipment essential for protecting homes, small businesses and critical infrastructure.

SIA has submitted comments and reply comments to the FCC opposing this petition and will continue to advocate on this issue, which is vitally important for our industry.
