  • licensees to use portions of these internationally-allocated bands for MSS feeder links and TT&C. Consistent with our ruling in the USEI TT&C Authorization, we conclude that a waiver of Section 2.102(a) of the Commission's Rules to permit the proposed operation on a non-harmful-interference basis is warranted, pending completion of the domestic allocation proceeding. Coordination with Authorized NGSO Satellite Systems Section 25.203(k) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. � 25.203(k), requires that: [a]n applicant for an earth station that will operate with . . . non-geostationary satellite[s] in a shared frequency band in which the non-geostationary system is . . . proposed to be . . . licensed for feeder links, shall demonstrate . . . that its proposed earth station will

  • coordination under some circumstances, the Commission did not find repeating ground tracks indispensable for coordinated sharing between NGSO MSS feeder links and GSO FSS systems in the 29.25-29.5 GHz band. Thus, Boeing may, but is not required to, use sub-satellite ground tracks to meet its sharing obligations, as long as Boeing complies with the provisions pertaining to coordination in Subsections 25.203(h) and 25.203(k) of the Commission's rules, and demonstrates that coordination with authorized GSO FSS operations in the band is feasible in its earth-station application. In the 19.3-19.7 GHz band, Boeing has met the requirements set forth in Section 25.208(c) of our rules.

Currently, Section 25.203(b) requires earth station operators in shared bands to show that they have coordinated with terrestrial wireless operations in their license applications.

The FWCC/Onsat/Hughes NPRM stated that this requirement for ``demonstrated use'' would be triggered by an FSS operator's denial of an FS applicant's request to coordinate spectrum. Specifically, the FWCC/Onsat/Hughes NPRM proposed to amend section 25.203 to indicate that, if an FSS earth station that has been licensed to operate in C- or Ku-band shared frequencies for 24 months or longer denies an FS applicant's request to coordinate spectrum, the FSS earth station must demonstrate to the frequency coordinator that it is using, has recently used, or has plans to use the requested spectrum in the

Both bands are allocated to the FSS and the FS on a co-primary basis for non-Federal Government use. The band is extensively used by both services and sharing is made possible through our coordination procedures outlined in Sections 25.203 and 101.103 of our rules. ESV access to the C-band is more difficult than at Ku-band due to the prevalence of FS operations, but ESV operation in the C-band is desirable due to the global coverage of C-band satellites. Therefore, we propose to allow ESV operations in the C-band, subject to certain limitations to ensure the protection of incumbent users

For example, pursuant to Section 25.203(k) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. � 25.203(k), all Ka-band earth station applicants must show in their license applications that they will not cause harmful interference to any co-primary feeder link earth stations operating in all or part of the frequency bands in which they plan to operate, or certify that their operations will be consistent with the coordination agreements

Comsearch, SkyBridge and Boeing support applying to NGSO FSS gateways the existing coordination procedures for GSO FSS earth stations, with some modifications to account for the technical differences in NGSO FSS systems. For example, Comsearch indicates that our rules on earth station coordination information, contained in Section 25.203(c)(2), need to consider NGSO FSS system characteristics such as antenna pointing information. Comsearch also suggests that the Commission allow industry groups such as the National Spectrum Managers Association (``NSMA'') to suggest the appropriate rule changes and coordination data sufficient to account for NGSO FSS systems. Comsearch also recommends that NGSO FSS coordination contours be calculated using the ITU-R Recommendation IS.849

This requirement should further enhance the 2 GHz MSS providers' ability to access adequate feeder link spectrum to provide service.
