FCC Seeks Input on Impact of May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm on U.S. Communications Systems

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is soliciting feedback on the effects of a severe geomagnetic storm that occurred in May 2024, which disrupted communications systems in the northern hemisphere. This storm, reaching extreme G5 conditions, notably interfered with HF radio signals, affecting voice and data communications. The FCC aims to gather specific instances of disruption between May 7 and 11 to assess the impact on communications services. This input will inform potential future actions to enhance the resilience of critical communications infrastructure. View original source here.
