§ 27.73 WCS, AMT, and Goldstone coordination requirements.
This section requires Wireless Communications Services (WCS) licensees
in the 2345-2360 MHz band to coordinate the deployment of base stations
with Aeronautical Mobile Telemetry (AMT) facilities in the 2360-2395
MHz band; and to take all practicable steps necessary to minimize the
risk of harmful interference to AMT facilities.
(a) Wireless Communications Service (WCS) licensees operating base
stations in the 2345-2360 MHz band shall, prior to operation of such
base stations, achieve a mutually satisfactory coordination agreement
with the Aerospace and Flight Test Radio Coordinating Council (AFTRCC)
for any AMT receiver facility within 45 kilometers or the radio line of
sight, whichever distance is larger, of the intended WCS base station
location. This coordination is necessary to protect AMT receive systems
consistent with Recommendation ITU-R M.1459. The locations of the
current and planned Federal and non-Federal AMT receiver sites may be
obtained from AFTRCC.
(b) WCS licensees operating base stations in the 2305-2320 MHz band
shall, prior to operation of such base stations, achieve a mutually
satisfactory coordination agreement with the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) within 145 kilometers of the Goldstone, CA
earth station site (35DEG25'33" N, 116DEG53'23" W).
(c) After base station operations commence, upon receipt of a complaint
of harmful interference, the WCS licensee(s) receiving the complaint,
no matter the distance from the NASA Goldstone, CA earth station or
from an AMT site, operating in the 2305-2320 or 2345-2360 MHz bands,
respectively, shall take all practicable steps to immediately eliminate
the interference.
(d) Duty to cooperate. WCS licensees, AFTRCC, and NASA must cooperate
in good faith in the coordination and deployment of new facilities. WCS
licensees must also cooperate in good faith in the selection and use of
new station sites and new frequencies when within radio line of site of
AMT receiver facilities to reduce the risk of harmful interference and
make the most effective use of the authorized facilities. Licensees of
stations suffering or causing harmful interference must cooperate in
good faith and resolve such problems by mutually satisfactory
arrangements. If the licensees are unable to do so, the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau, in consultation with the Office of
Engineering and Technology and the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration may impose restrictions including specifying
the transmitter power, antenna height, or area or hours of operation of
the stations.
