   MHz, 2130-2150 MHz, and 2180-2200 MHz bands.

   Effective Radiated Power (e.r.p.) (in a given direction). The product
   of the power supplied to the antenna and its gain relative to a
   half-wave dipole in a given direction.

   Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (e.i.r.p.). The product of the
   power supplied to the antenna and the antenna gain in a given direction
   relative to an isotropic antenna.

   Fixed Service. A radiocommunication service between specified fixed
   points.

   Fixed Station. A station in the fixed service.

   Land Mobile Service. A mobile service between base stations and land
   mobile stations, or between land mobile stations.

   services to individuals and businesses and can be integrated with a
   variety of competing networks.

   Universal Licensing System. The Universal Licensing System (ULS) is the
   consolidated database, application filing system, and processing system
   for all Wireless Radio Services. ULS supports electronic filing of all
   applications and related documents by applicants and licensees in the
   Wireless Radio Services, and provides public access to licensing
   information.

   UTAM. The Unlicensed PCS Ad Hoc Committee for 2 GHz Microwave
   Transition and Management, which coordinates relocation in the
   1910-1930 MHz band.

   Voluntarily Relocating Microwave Incumbent A microwave incumbent that
