  • FCC 04-286 establishing regulations governing Earth Stations on Vessels particularly as they operate in US waters. Your application appears to be requesting STA to operate an ESV in the Gulf of Mexico and thus would be subject to the ESV Rules and Regulations. Applicants using the Ku-band must provide sufficient data to demonstrate that the proposed ESV complies with Section 25.222 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.222. Ku-band ESVs must meet an off-axis EIRP spectral density envelope as described in Section 25.222(a)(1) through (5). C5 Communication's application did not provide a demonstration under Section 25.222(b)(1), (2), or (3) which demonstrates that its ESV meets these off-axis limits. In addition, Section 25.222(a)(7) indicates that all emissions from an ESV shall

  • November 4, 2005, C5 Communications, LLC (C5) requested Special Temporary Authorization (STA) to operate a 1.0 meter Ku-Band earth station on board a vessel (ESV). Specifically, the ESV will be operated on a Singapore-registered vessel in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and navigable inland waterways, but no closer than 150 km of the areas discussed in Sections 25.222(d) and (e) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.222(d) and (e). The ESV will access the SATMEX-5 satellite at 116.8o W.L. and will operate through a hub earth station licensed to Loral Skynet Network Services, Inc. The Commission does not have the authority to issue a license under Title III of the Communications Act to an ESV applicant who

  • 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(1), we dismiss this application because there are internal inconsistencies. Specifically, in response to item E49 on Form 312 Schedule B, Boeing lists the value of the Maximum EIRP Density per Carrier for emission designator 32M4G7W (E47) as 15.9 dBW/4 kHz. However, in demonstrating compliance with the off-axis EIRP density levels in Section 25.222(a)(1) through (4), 47 C.F.R. §25.222(a)(1) through (a)(4), Boeing's co-polarization plots appear to use an on-axis EIRP density of approximately 13 dBW/4 kHz. Thus, we are unable to determine whether Boeing meets the off-axis EIRP density limits in Section 25.222(a). In addition, Boeing notes in the application that the ESV network will use Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) with the maximum

  • Section 25.205 of the Commission's rules, however, states that earth station antennas shall not be authorized for transmission at an angle that is less than 5 degrees measured from the horizontal plane to the direction of the maximum radiation. Second, Stratos indicates that its proposed 1.0 meter and 1.2 meter antennas meet the off-axis EIRP density limits contained in Sections 25.222(a)(1) through (4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.222(a)(1) through (4). Stratos appears to base this assertion on the assumption that the antennas also comply with the antenna radiation performance standards contained in Section 25.209 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.209.

Additionally, based on the antenna patterns provided in Exhibit 4 of the application and the Maximum EIRP density provided in Schedule B, our analysis indicates that the proposed ESV will exceed the off-axis EIRP density limit of Section 25.222(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.222(a). Further, in response to item E50, Schlumberger indicates that when using a QPSK FEC ½ 256 kbps modulation, the maximum EIRP per carrier will be 47.8 dBW and 41.8 dBW for 65 kbps modulation. Since this power level associated with the 256 kbps modulation exceeds that of the 65 kbps emission, Schlumberger must

Adjacent Satellite Interference Row 44 maintains that its AMSS system will not cause harmful interference to adjacent satellite operators. Specifically, Row 44 contends that its proposed AMSS operation is consistent with the technical requirements in Section 25.222 for operation of earth stations on vessels (ESVs) in the Ku-band. Hence, Row 44 maintains that its application meets ITU-R M.1643's essential recommendation that off-axis EIRP density not exceed "the levels that have been published and coordinated" for FSS networks. Row 44 also argues that its system has been coordinated with all potentially affected satellite operators, consistent with Section 25.220.
