- will accept interference from authorized users. Boeing indicates in its application that it will protect geostationary satellite orbit (``GSO'') FSS satellite networks in the 14 GHz band from harmful interference from AMSS transmissions by controlling the aggregate equivalent isotropically radiated power (``e.i.r.p.'') spectral density along the GSO arc to the level required for routinely processed VSAT applications pursuant to Sections 25.134 and 25.209 of the Commission's rules. Boeing further indicates that it will protect GSO FSS satellite networks operating in the 12 GHz band by using space-to-Earth e.i.r.p. spectral density levels that are equal to, or less than, those previously coordinated for the Telstar 6 satellite with adjacent satellite operators. Boeing also states that the cumulative interference from its AMSS service

- levels that are equal to, or less than, the power levels that have previously been coordinated for the specific satellite transponders in question. Boeing indicates that down-link transmissions for its receive-only service will cause no more interference than down-link transmissions to fixed earth stations that might otherwise be using the same FSS transponders. Boeing also requests a waiver of Section 25.134 of our rules. Section 25.134 includes thresholds, based on the power radiated from transmitters, for routine processing of networks of very small aperture terminals (``VSATs'') operating in the Ku-band. Boeing observes that its proposed service does not necessarily fit within the Commission's definition of a VSAT network. Boeing acknowledges, however, that its service would operate using space-to-Earth power levels that

We therefore conclude that ARINC's agreement with PanAmSat and SES Americom does not obviate the need to consider Boeing's technical arguments, which are addressed in the paragraphs below. 2. Probability of Exceeding Aggregate Off-Axis e.i.r.p. Density Levels In a decision issued several years ago, the Bureau held that Section 25.134(a) implicitly prohibited routinely-authorized digital VSAT networks from generating aggregate off-axis e.i.r.p. density above the levels specified in the preceding paragraph (which we will refer to hereafter as ``the VSAT emission envelope'').

- increasing the amount of traffic within a VSAT network by assigning different codes to transmissions to or from different remote earth stations, so that transmissions can occur simultaneously without causing harmful interference to each other. However, these simultaneous transmissions, when considered together, can result in EIRP levels that exceed the VSAT power limit specified in the Commission's rules. Accordingly, Section 25.134(g) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.134(g), requires applicants for VSAT licenses planning to use CDMA to reduce the maximum power of any given individual transmission.

- allocated on a secondary basis for operation of grandfathered terrestrial radio stations. The Commission has proposed to add an allocation for AMSS downlinks in the 11.7-12.2 GHz band, but there is no AMSS allocation in the band at the present time. Hence, ViaSat requests a waiver to permit operations in the 11.7-12.2 GHz band on a non-interference, non-protected basis. Section 25.134(g)(2) of the Commission's rules specifies a limit of 10 dBW/4kHz on the e.i.r.p. density of digital satellite transmissions in the 11.7-12.2 GHz band for routinely-licensed VSAT systems.

- routinely licensed at Ku-band is 1.2 meters in diameter. See Part 25 Earth Station Streamlining Fifth Report and Order, 20 FCC Rcd at 5676 20. The size of the earth station antenna is important since, in general, smaller antennas produce wider transmission beams, which, in turn, can create more potential interference to adjacent satellite operations. See 47 C.F.R. 25.134 (VSAT networks), 25.211 (video transmissions), 25.212 (narrowband transmissions). See also Part 25 Earth Station Streamlining Fifth Report and Order, 20 FCC Rcd at 5676 20. Reducing the diameter of an earth station antenna increases the side lobes. Reducing the transmit power of the earth station reduces the off-axis EIRP, however, and so can compensate for the reduction in antenna

- an unspread signal will increase the risk of interference to GSO FSS systems without central network management. ViaSat argues that lack of central network management allows each antenna user to adjust the power and bandwidth usage of the antenna, which could lead to aggregate power levels in excess of the off-axis EIRP density mask set defined by Sections 25.209 and 25.134 of the rules and result in interference to adjacent GSO FSS satellites. We find that Raysat's application, as amended, adequately addresses this concern. In its amendment, Raysat explains that each MET will operate through a single hub earth station manned by qualified personnel that, subject to Raysat's direction, will ensure that the MET operates in accordance with Raysat's license.

"Routine" earth station applications can be granted without a detailed engineering review. On the other hand, "non-routine" earth station applications arethose for earth stations that do not meet certain technical requirements spelled out in the Commission's rules.

- Nature of Service:Domestic Aeronautical Mobile-Satellite Service Under our own motion we reconsider condition number 5837 and remove this condition from the Boeing authorization. In attachment #2 to Supplemental Technical Information supplied to the Commission June 30, 2003, Boeing indicated that the system would maintain the aggregate off-axis interference envelope 99.99% of the time below the limits of Section 25.209 and 25.134 for mis-pointing, power control and antenna pattern variations. The intent of condition number 5837 is met by inclusion of the alignment of the orbital arc under mis-pointing and antenna variation requirements. Therefore this condition is not necessary. We remind the Boeing Company that its operation is on a non-harmful interference basis. SITE ID: 1 800 METS ABOARD AIRCRAFT OPERATING IN

As indicated by the Commission's remark, achieving technical compatibility through coordination is a common approach used to avoid the constraints of rigid technical requirements. For example, although the Commission's rules for Ku-band FSS prescribe certain downlink EIRP density levels, see 47 C.F.R. $ 25.134, in practice these levels are exceeded by modem U.S. FSS space stations. See, e.g., Application of Loral Aerospace Holdings, Inc., SAT-LOA-199502 15- 00024, February 15, 1995, Sections 3 and 6; Application of PanAmSat, SAT-LOA- 20000929-00137, September 29,2000, at B-3 and B-8.

Presently, the Commission does not make such findings without the provision of earth station antenna gain patterns and a technical study demonstrating compatibility with uniform 2 orbital spacing. This technical study usually takes the form of an analysis using the Adjacent Satellite Interference Analysis (ASIA) program as described in Section 25.134(b). The ASIA requirement is often difficult and time consuming to perform, for two reasons. First, the ASIA is burdensome because the data needed for the analysis are not readily available from any one source, and the results of an ASIA can be subject to interpretation. Second, the ASIA results for the non-routine antenna's operations must be coordinated with adjacent satellite

We believe that if Ku-band ESV operators agree to operate under the same technical requirements as those imposed on VSAT blanket licensees, the requirements that are designed to minimize interference concerns to adjacent satellites would be sufficient to support Ku-band ESV licensees under the same blanket licensing process. Therefore, we propose to amend Sections 25.115 and 25.134 of our rules to permit blanket licensing of ESV operations in the 14.0-14.5 GHz portion of the Ku-band on the same basis as Ku-band VSAT systems. We seek comment on this approach. Specifically, we propose to add a new subsection 25.115(c)(3) to include Ku-band ESV networks within the current blanket licensing process.

- other considerations warrant such action. At the time the Commission started this review, its policy was to require non-routine earth station applicants to submit a technical study demonstrating that the proposed earth station will not cause unacceptable interference to 2-complaint operations. The preferred form of that technical study was the Adjacent Satellite Interference Analysis (ASIA) program as described in Section 25.134(b). This analysis was often difficult and time consuming to perform, because the information needed for the analysis is not readily available from any one source, and the ASIA results can be subject to interpretation. Some of the data needed for ASIA are available only from individual satellite operators. Further, the operation of the non-compliant earth station antenna must still be

- We anticipate that this would not be the case for most applications under the VMES rules. Contention Protocols As discussed below, we adopt a new rule provision that permits VMES applicants to use contention protocols similar to those used by VSAT networks. We require VMES applicants seeking to use contention protocols to certify that the protocols are ``reasonable.'' Background. Section 25.134 of the rules establishes specific limits for individual VSAT earth station antenna input power densities. The power-density limits are designed to limit the interference power received at space stations adjacent to the target satellite. Contention protocol use may result in aggregate power densities in the adjacent satellite receivers that exceed the limits produced by a single VSAT transmitter operating with
