Ku-band AMSS Issues
International Developments– WRC-03 adopted a global, secondary AMSS allocation in the 14.0-14.5 GHz
FSS uplink band; downlink AMSS operations on an unprotected basis – 2003 Radiocommunication Assembly adopted Recommendation ITU-R
M.1643, which sets forth technical and regulatory requirements for Ku-band AMSS systems
Domestic Developments– FCC allocated the 14.0-14.5 GHz Band to AMSS on a secondary basis– Pending petition for rulemaking to adopt AMSS licensing and service rules – One licensed AMSS system – Connexion by Boeing – authorized subject to
compliance with Rec. M.1643 and VSAT routine licensing values – One pending AMSS system – the ARINC SKYLink system

ESVs – Ku-Band versus C-Band
Spectrum Sharing Environments Are Quite Different – C-band ESVs must address incumbent terrestrial uses (inland,
coastal, Gulf of Mexico fixed links) – Ku-band ESVs have far fewer limitations
Co-Primary Regulatory Status for ESV Operations– Coordination with existing FS stations– Protection of future FS operations and USG secondary operations
Disparity Between Ku-band ESV and AMSS allocations– Potentially same transponders/same system but different regulatory
status– Potentially affects international coordination and regulatory certainty

Unlicensed Use of the 3650-3700 MHz Band
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking – April 23, 2004 3650-3700 MHz band -- FSS downlink band for
international services Wireless Internet service providers (“WISPs”) to provide
wireless broadband services to rural areas– Fixed – 25 W EIRP; exclusion zone of 180 km within +/- 15° of
antenna boresight, 25 km in all other directions– Non-fixed – 1 W EIRP; “listen-before-talk” technology to monitor
FSS transmit band and reduce power based on the strength of the received signal

Unlicensed Use of the 3650-3700 MHz Band (cont’d) Many Unanswered Questions
– Existing authority to communicate with multiple satellites– Future reorientation of earth stations – Future deployment of new earth stations
Should Unlicensed Users Be Permitted To Restrict or Preclude Licensed Operations??
A Potentially Dangerous Trend– Does the technology work?– How do regulators/licensed users enforce?– Are any licensed bands safe?
• May 13, 2004 – Public notice of an NPRM to allow unlicensed use of unused TV channels by WISPs

ITS/DSRC Use of the 5.9 GHz Band FCC Adopted Rules for ITS/DSRC Use of the 5.850-5.925
GHz Band on a Co-primary Basis– Geographic licensing with a registration requirement for RSUs– Licensing by rule for mobile units– Adopted an ITS standard for equipment based on the 802.11 series
of standards Interference Scenario is FSS into ITS RSUs
– Technical studies underway to address RSU deployment issues ITS/DSRC Deployment Could Potentially Restrict or
Preclude Earth Station Deployment
