§ 25.145 Licensing provisions for the Fixed-Satellite Service in the 20/30 GHz
bands.
(a) [Reserved]
(b) System License. Applicants authorized to construct and launch a system
of technically identical non-geostationary satellite orbit satellites will
be awarded a single “blanket” license covering a specified number of space
stations to operate in a specified number of orbital planes.
(c) In addition to providing the information specified in § 25.114, each
non-geostationary satellite orbit applicant shall demonstrate the following:
(1) That the proposed system is capable of providing Fixed-Satellite Service
to all locations as far north as 70° North Latitude and as far south as 55°
South Latitude for at least 75% of every 24-hour period; and
(2) That the proposed system is capable of providing Fixed-Satellite Service
on a continuous basis throughout the fifty states, Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
(3) [Reserved]
(d) [Reserved]
(e) Prohibition of certain agreements. No license shall be granted to any
applicant for a space station in the Fixed-Satellite Service operating in
the 20/30 GHz band if that applicant, or any persons or companies
controlling or controlled by the applicant, shall acquire or enjoy any
right, for the purpose of handling traffic to or from the United States, its
territories or possession, to construct or operate space segment or earth
stations, or to interchange traffic, which is denied to any other United
States company by reason of any concession, contract, understanding, or
working arrangement to which the Licensee or any persons or companies
controlling or controlled by the Licensee are parties.
(f)(1) [Reserved]
(2) Licensees shall submit to the Commission a yearly report indicating the
number of earth stations actually brought into service under its blanket
licensing authority. The annual report is due to the Commission no later
than the first day of April of each year and shall indicate the deployment
figures for the preceding calendar year.
(g) Protection from interference from terrestrial operation in the 18.3 to
19.3 GHz band. Fixed-Satellite Service operators are entitled to protection
from harmful interference from terrestrial stations operating in this
frequency band. See § § 21.901(e), 74.502(c), 74.602(g), 78.18(a)(4), and
101.147(r) of this chapter.
(h) Replacement of Space Stations within the System License Term. Licensees
of NGSO FSS systems in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz frequency bands
authorized through a blanket license pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
section need not file separate applications to launch and operate
technically identical replacement satellites within the term of the system
authorization. However, the licensee shall certify to the Commission, at
least thirty days prior to launch of such replacement(s) that:
(1) The licensee intends to launch a space station into the
previously-authorized orbit that is technically identical to those
authorized in its system authorization and
(2) Launch of this space station will not cause the license to exceed the
total number of operating space stations authorized by the Commission.
