§ 90.351   Location and Monitoring Service.

   These provisions authorize the licensing of systems in the Location and
   Monitoring Service (LMS). LMS systems utilize non-voice radio techniques to
   determine the location and status of mobile radio units. LMS licensees
   authorized  to  operate  a  system  in  the 902-928 MHz band may serve
   individuals,  federal  government  agencies, and entities eligible for
   licensing in this part 90.

   (a) Each application to license an LMS system shall include the following
   supplemental information:

   (1) A detailed description of the manner in which the system will operate,
   including a map or diagram.

   (2) The necessary or occupied bandwidth of emission, whichever is greater.

   (3) The data transmission characteristics as follows:

   (i) The vehicle location update rates;

   (ii) Specific transmitter modulation techniques used;

   (iii)  For codes and timing scheme: A table of bit sequences and their
   alphanumeric or indicator equivalents, and a statement of bit rise time, bit
   transmission rates, bit duration, and interval between bits;

   (iv) A statement of amplitude-versus-time of the interrogation and reply
   formats,  and  an  example  of  a typical message transmission and any
   synchronizing pulses utilized.

   (4) A plan to show the implementation schedule during the initial license
   term.

   (b)  LMS stations are exempted from the identification requirements of
   § 90.425; however, the Commission may impose automatic station identification
   requirements when determined to be necessary for monitoring and enforcement
   purposes.
