WIA also discussed the importance of improving the FCC’s universal licensing system and antenna structure registration platform. WIA members "access these systems multiple times a day to facilitate wireless deployment,” the group said. “However, these systems frequently take an unreasonably long time to return results, with persistent and significant delays during normal working hours when many users are trying to access the system.
