Sec. 25.135 Licensing provisions for earth station networks in the non-voice,
non-geostationary mobile-satellite service.
(a) Each applicant for a blanket earth station license in the non-voice,
non-geostationary mobile-satellite service shall demonstrate that
transceiver operations will not cause unacceptable interference to other
authorized users of the spectrum, based on existing system information
publicly available at the Commission at the time of filing, and will comply
with operational conditions placed upon the systems with which they are to
operate in accordance with Sec. 25.142(b). This demonstration shall include a
showing as to all the technical parameters, including duty cycle and power
limits, under which the individual user transceivers will operate.
(b) Transceiver units associated with the non-voice, non-geostationary
mobile-satellite service may not be operated on civil aircraft. All portable
or hand-held transceiver units (including transceiver units installed in
other devices that are themselves portable or hand-held) having a receiver
operating in the 137–138 MHz band shall bear the following statement in a
conspicuous location on the device: “This device may not be operated while
on board a civil aircraft. It must be turned off at all times while on board
such an aircraft.” This subsection shall not apply to transceiver units
whose receivers are incapable of radiating in the 108–137 MHz frequency
bands.
(c) Transceiver units in this service are authorized to communicate with and
through U.S. authorized space stations only. No person without an FCC
license for such operation may transmit to a space station in this service
from anywhere in the United States except to receive service from the holder
of a pertinent FCC blanket license or from another party with the permission
of such a blanket licensee.
(d) The holder of an FCC blanket license for operation of transceivers for
communication via a non-voice, non-geostationary mobile-satellite system
shall be responsible for operation of any such transceiver to receive
service provided by the blanket licensee or provided by another party with
the blanket licensee's consent. Operators of non-voice, non-geostationary
mobile-satellite systems shall not transmit communications to or from user
transceivers in the United States unless such communications are authorized
under a service contract with the holder of a pertinent FCC blanket license
or under a service contract another party with authority for such
transceiver operation delegated by such a blanket licensee.
