Sec. 25.257 Special requirements for operations in the band 29.1–29.25 GHz
between NGSO MSS and LMDS.
(a) Non-geostationary mobile satellite service (NGSO MSS) operators shall be
licensed to use the 29.1–29.25 GHz band for Earth-to-space transmissions
from feeder link earth station complexes. A “feeder link earth station
complex” may include up to three (3) earth station groups, with each earth
station group having up to four (4) antennas, located within a radius of 75
km of a given set of geographic coordinates provided by a NGSO MSS licensees
or applicants pursuant to Sec. 101.147.
(b) A maximum of seven (7) feeder link earth station complexes in the
contiguous United States, Alaska and Hawaii may be placed into operation, in
the largest 100 MSAs, in the band 29.1–29.25 GHz in accordance with Sec. 25.203
and Sec. 101.147 of this chapter.
(c) One of the NGSO MSS operators licensed to use the 29.1–29.25 GHz band
may specify geographic coordinates for a maximum of eight feeder link earth
station complexes that transmit in the 29.1–29.25 GHz band. The other NGSO
MSS operator licensed to use the 29.1–29.25 GHz band may specify geographic
coordinates for a maximum of two feeder link earth station complexes that
transmit in the 29.1–29.25 GHz band.
(d) Additional NGSO MSS operators may be licensed in this band if the
additional NGSO MSS operator shows that its system can share with the
existing NGSO MSS systems.
(e) All NGSO MSS operators shall cooperate fully and make reasonable efforts
to identify mutually acceptable locations for feeder link earth station
complexes. In this connection, any single NGSO MSS operator shall only
identify one feeder link earth station complex protection zone in each
category identified in Sec. 101.147(c)(2) of this chapter until the other NGSO
MSS operator has been given an opportunity to select a location from the
same category.
