  • Hughes raises technical objections to LMC's proposed operation in portions of the Ka-band designated for other services on a primary basis, questions LMC's compliance with the Commission's two-degree orbit spacing policy so as not to interfere with Hughes' satellites, and asserts that LMC's system will not meet the requirement that earth stations utilize uplink adaptive power control pursuant to Section 25.204(g) of the Commission's rules. DISCUSSION Qualifications All applicants requesting authority to launch and operate satellite space stations must present information sufficient to establish their legal, technical, and financial qualifications to hold a Commission license. The rules set forth in Part 25 of the Commission's rules govern fixed-satellite service (``FSS'') applicants and licensees, including this application for geostationary satellite orbit GSO

As explained below, we grant Telenor's requests with conditions. This grant is conditioned upon Telenor correcting the deficiencies noted in the Commission's April Z3", 2004 Letter. Specifically, the pending modification does not conform to 47 CFR Part 25, §25.204(f) for the band 13.75-14 GHz.. Further, the pending modification is unclear regarding the power flux density at the shoreline, and with respect to limitations on points of communication for the antenna identified as Ex-Ku. Moreover, an interference analysis is required to satisfy requirements of 47 CFR Part 25,525.140.~ This grant is further conditioned upon Telenor filing all of the required

  • band. Globecomm also proposed operating at an equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) of 72 dBW per carrier. While that application was pending, Globecomm requested and received Special Temporary Authority (STA) to communicate with Hispasat 1C on a non-harmful interference basis at an EIRP less than 68 dBW. In granting the STA, we also granted Globecomm's request for waiver of Section 25.204(f) of the Commission's rules, to allow it to operate at less than 68 dBW in the 13.75-14.0 GHz band. The 13.75-14.0 GHz band is a shared Government/non-Government band. In June 2002, the Satellite Division (Division) dismissed Globecomm's modification application without prejudice, based on a letter from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) concluding that Globecomm's proposed communications with Hispasat

Space Imaging further asserts that the majority of the default service rules referred to in Section 25.217 of the Commission's rules, by their own terms, do not apply to an in-orbit EESS system. Specifically, Space Imaging maintains that Sections 25.142(d), 25.143(b)(2)(ii), 25.143(b)(2)(iii), 25.204(g), and 25.210(c) of the default service rules are inapplicable.

This, in itself, would have rendered the application incomplete and subject to dismissal. Furthermore, footnote US356 of the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, and Section 25.204(f) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.204(f), both require a minimum antenna size of 4.5 meters and an EIRP between 68 and 85 dBW. Boeing's application seeks a 1.2 meter antenna operating with a maximum EIRP of 57.48 dBW for its 2M00F9W emission.
