(Loral) licenses to operate two earth stations in Kapolei, Hawaii in the conventional C-band, to allow Loral to communicate with the Mabuhay satellite. In doing so, we also grant Loral a conditional waiver of Section 25.210(a)(3) of the Commission's rules with respect to these two earth stations. II. BACKGROUND The Commission's DISCO II Order adopted a framework under which the Commission would consider requests for non-U.S. satellite systems to serve the United States. To implement this framework, the Commission, among other things, established a procedure by which a service provider in the United States could request

  • the Commission's rules. Therefore, placing ANIK F1 on the Permitted List should not cause harmful interference into any other two-degree-compliant satellite system located as close as two degrees away from ANIK F1. Finally, based on our review of the technical information in Telesat's petition for declaratory ruling, we conclude that ANIK F1 complies with all applicable Commission rules, except Section 25.210(a)(3). Section 25.210(a)(3) requires that the C-band payload on the space station in question be capable of switching polarity upon ground command. Telesat states that polarity-switching capability is necessary for two reasons: to permit U.S.-licensed satellites the flexibility to be assigned to different U.S. orbital positions, and to mitigate potential interference between adjacent fixed-satellite systems transmitting analog TV signals. Telesat asserts

  • submitted the technical information specified in Sections 25.114(c)(5) through (11) and 25.114(c)(14) of the Commission's rules. Based on our review of this information, we find that Brasilsat A2 complies with almost all the Commission's Part 25 requirements. The first exception is that Brasilsat A2 does not have the capability to switch polarity from the ground, as is required by Section 25.210(a)(3). In addition, Brasilsat A2 does not have the capability to change transponder saturation flux densities by ground command in 4 dB steps, as required by Section 25.210(c). Finally, Brasilsat A2 does not meet the station keeping requirements of Section 25.210(j). Embratel has not requested a waiver of any of the Commission's rules. On our own motion, we find good cause

  • demonstrate that their operations will not cause harmful interference to existing two-degree compliant satellite operations. Further, non-conforming operations are conditioned upon a licensee accommodating future satellite networks serving the United States that are two-degree compliant. 12. Based on the technical information submitted by USAsia Telecom, we conclude that JCSAT-3 meets the Part 25 two-degree spacing requirements, with one exception. Part 25.210 (a) (1) requires C-band domestic satellites to use orthogonal linear polarization, with one of the planes defined by the equatorial plane. On JCSAT-3, the polarization planes are rotated counterclockwise by 22( relative to the requirement of § 25.210 (a) (1). The intent of the C-band polarization requirements is to minimize the interference potential when analog video transmissions meet the center-frequency

In addition, all complaints of radio interference shall be forwarded immediately to the Commission, in writing. Columbia notes that the Columbia 515 satellite it acquired from INTELSAT does not meet certain technical requirements of Section 25.210 regarding saturation flux densities, space station antenna cross-polarization isolation, and station-keeping. Columbia requests a waiver of these rules for purposes of its provision of Ku-band service to the Southern Hemisphere. In the Columbia 1998 Modification Order, we granted a waiver of these rules for purposes of Columbia's provision of C-band service, because Columbia's operations would not cause harmful interference to

In its petition, Telesat provided all the technical information specified in Section 25.114 of the Commission's rules, which is the same technical information we require applicants requesting U.S. satellite licenses to provide. Based on that information, the Division was able to determine that, with one exception, ANIK F1 meets all the relevant satellite-related technical requirements in Section 25.210. In addition, Telesat showed that the power flux density (PFD) at the earth's surface produced by emissions from ANIK F1 in the C-band is within the limits specified in Section 25.208(a). Accordingly, we concluded that allowing ALSAT earth stations to communicate with ANIK F1 should not cause harmful interference into any other two-degree-compliant satellite system located as close as two

Compliance With Frequency Re-use Requirements Upon further examination of VisionStar's original application, we conclude that VisionStar intends to employ orthogonal polarization as a means of frequency re-use for its Ka-band satellite, and therefore it is in full compliance with Section 25.210(e) of our rules. CONCLUSION Accordingly, upon review, we modify VisionStar's Ka-band system license to assign additional downlink frequencies. This will allow VisionStar to provide a variety of advanced broadband communication services to businesses and consumers. V.

After analyzing the data submitted in the Telstar 8 Modification Application, we grant Loral's requested modifications to the extent that they comport with our Part 25 rules. In that regard, we note that Section 25.210(e) of the Commission's rules requires that U.S.-licensed satellites be configured for full frequency re-use, and Section 25.210(g) defines full frequency re-use for those satellites' beams providing international service, such as Loral's proposed extended coverage to South America. Based on our review of the Telstar 8 Modification Application, Loral's proposed C- and Ku-band South American coverage does not meet this requirement.

  • Keeping We note that, as an antenna gets smaller, its mainbeam gets wider. As a result, there may be more occurrences of interference to or from adjacent geostationary satellite systems if those satellites drift away from their assigned orbital location. We do not anticipate that interference resulting from drifting satellites will be a serious concern in most cases, because Section 25.210(j)(1) establishes station-keeping requirements for satellites that preclude all but very minor drifting. The Commission has authority to relax its station-keeping requirements in particular cases, however, and some non-U.S.-licensed satellites may not have the same station-keeping capabilities as U.S.-licensed satellites. Therefore, we solicit comment on whether an increase in the number of authorized earth stations with antennas that do not conform

Thus, DBS licensees will continue to submit annual progress reports on system implementation pursuant to existing Section 25.210(l). We request commenters' views on what, if any, further actions we should take to monitor system implementation, including, for example, requiring interim implementation certifications or whether we should eliminate or modify any of the existing due diligence rules. We do not propose applying the DBS due diligence rules to other satellite service licensees. We note that in the past we

  • 81-704, 54 Rad. Reg. 2d 577 (1983) (Reduced Orbital Spacing), and our Part 25 rules set out technical requirements for earth and space stations in the FSS. For example, space stations must be designed to derive the maximum capacity from the assigned orbit location by employing state-of-the-art full frequency reuse using both horizontal and vertical polarization. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.210(e). Part 25 also requires relatively stringent earth station antenna performance in order to protect from interference other FCC-licensed GSO FSS operators and the systems of other Administrations. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.209 and 25.210(k). These FSS technical and efficiency rules, requiring FSS earth stations to narrow their antenna beam widths and reduce their sidelobe energy, benefit the FS because they

  • demonstrate that their operations will not cause harmful interference to existing two-degree compliant satellite operations. Further, non-conforming operations are conditioned upon a licensee accommodating future satellite networks serving the United States that are two-degree compliant. 12. Based on the technical information submitted by USAsia Telecom, we conclude that JCSAT-3 meets the Part 25 two-degree spacing requirements, with one exception. Part 25.210 (a) (1) requires C-band domestic satellites to use orthogonal linear polarization, with one of the planes defined by the equatorial plane. On JCSAT-3, the polarization planes are rotated counterclockwise by 22( relative to the requirement of § 25.210 (a) (1). The intent of the C-band polarization requirements is to minimize the interference potential when analog video transmissions meet the center-frequency
