  • Spectrum Managers Association has established criteria for coordinating in-motion services. Until then, however, MTN claims that it cannot determine which frequencies can be deleted without precluding continuous operations on the same frequencies for both dockside and in-motion operations. We find that MTN's proposed dockside service is a temporary-fixed earth station service rather than a permanent fixed earth station service. Section 25.277(a) of the Commission's rules states that a temporary fixed earth station license is appropriate if the earth station "is to remain at a single location for fewer than 6 months . . . ." MTN has not shown that any ship carrying one of its ESVs will remain at a single location for more than six months. Further, we agree

  • Loral 13-meter Application, Exh.1 at 1 n.2. Therefore, our action to place this satellite on the Permitted List does not include these frequency bands. The 13-meter application is File No. SES-LIC-19980520-00614, 994-DSE-P/L-98. A temporary fixed earth station is an earth station intended "to remain at a single location for fewer than 6 months . . . ." 47 C.F.R. § 25.277(a). "ALSAT" means "all U.S.-licensed space stations." Under an ALSAT earth station license, an earth station operator providing fixed-satellite service in the conventional C- and Ku-bands may access any U.S. satellite without additional Commission action, under the technical parameters authorized in the earth station licenses. See DISCO II First Reconsideration Order, 15 FCC Rcd at 7210-11 (para. 6). The 4.5-meter application

  • its dockside service, just because the rules have established a separate temporary fixed satellite service classification. According to the Joint Opponents, while the Commission may have discretion to grant regular fixed authority to an earth station intended to remain in place for less than six months, it has never done so. Both MTN and the Joint Opponents contend that Section 25.277 does not necessarily prohibit the Commission from granting MTN's applications for regular fixed authority. We agree. The MTN Order did not conclude that Section 25.277 compelled us to deny MTN's requests for regular fixed dockside authority. Rather, we denied MTN's requests for regular fixed authority because it is an inefficient use of spectrum, because such an authorization would enable MTN

  • Dear Mr. Fruitman: On April 20, 2006, Calhoun Satellite Communications, Inc. (Calhoun) filed the above-captioned application to operate a temporary-fixed C-Band transmit-only earth station in the 5925-6425 MHz band that will communicate with ALSAT-designated satellites. Pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(1), we dismiss the application as defective, without prejudice to refiling. In accordance with Section 25.277(f) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.277(f), applications for temporary-fixed earth stations operating in frequency bands shared co-equally with terrestrial fixed stations, such as the C-Band, must include either a Frequency Coordination Report in accordance with Section 25.203 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.203, for its initial location or a statement by the applicant acknowledging its coordination responsibilities.

  • USE OF KU-BAND TEMPORARY FIXED EARTH STATIONS This Public Notice is to remind applicants of new procedures governing applications for Ku-band Temporary Fixed earth stations that will allow them to expedite service to their customers. Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) earth stations, other than Earth Stations on Vessels (ESVs), operating in fixed locations for up to 6 months are subject to Section 25.277 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.277, which contain provisions for Temporary Fixed earth stations. Some examples of Temporary Fixed earth stations are Satellite News Gathering (SNG) trucks and other transportable stations that do not transmit or receive while in motion. Applications for Temporary Fixed earth stations must be filed electronically using either Form 312, Main Form and Schedule

  • above, we take the opportunity to apprise American Satellite Uplink of another issue with the application should it choose to refile. American Satellite Uplink indicated in response to Question 25 of Form 312 that the station is a Temporary-Fixed earth station. In response to items E11 and E12 of Schedule B, however, it lists specific latitude and longitude coordinates. Section 25.277(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.277(a), states that if an earth station is to provide services at a single location for longer than six months' duration it be classified as a Fixed-earth station rather than a Temporary-Fixed earth station. Please clarify, in any refiling, whether the proposed earth station should be licensed as a Fixed or Temporary-Fixed earth station.

  • the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.203(c), however, all earth station applicants must complete frequency coordination if the earth station will operate in frequency bands shared with terrestrial services on a co-primary basis, such as the 5925-6425 MHz band proposed in North American Leasing's application. Since North American Leasing proposes to operate the station as a temporary-fixed earth station, Section 25.277(f) of the Commission's rules requires it to complete frequency coordination for the initial location if it is known or to include a statement in its application that indicates it will conduct frequency coordination prior to operating the earth station. While we dismiss the application on the grounds discussed above, we take the opportunity to apprise the applicant of another issue

  • satellite operator. Pacific Satellite's application does not include these certifications. Further, in response to Question 25 on FCC Form 312, Pacific Satellite indicates that the station is Temporary-Fixed. However, in response to Questions E11-E13 of Schedule B, Pacific Satellite lists a specific coordinate location for the station. This implies that the station is fixed, rather than temporary-fixed. Pursuant to Section 25.277 of the Commission's rules, temporary fixed earth stations must remain at a single location for fewer than 6 months. In any refiling, Pacific Satellite should clarify the type of station for which it is applying. Finally, in response to Question E54 of Schedule B, Pacific Satellite indicates that the easternmost portion of the satellite arc is 74o E.L. This value

  • waiver of the Table of Frequency Allocations that would permit non-conforming uses in either the 12.2-12.7 GHz band or the 12.7-12.75 GHz band. Consequently, those portions of SWE-DISH's application requesting authority to operate in these bands are defective. Furthermore, we note that the 10.95-11.7 GHz and 12.2-12.75 GHz bands are shared on a co-primary basis with the Fixed Service. Section 25.277(f) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.277(f), requires that, when the initial location of a temporary-fixed earth station is known, the applicant shall provide, as part of the Form 312 application, a frequency coordination report in accordance with Section 25.203 of the Commission's rules for the initial station location. Alternatively, if the initial location is not known, Section 25.277(f)

  • exists concerning whether temporary fixed earth stations can be licensed under a VSAT network blanket license. We tentatively conclude that there is no technical reason to prohibit such licensing of temporary fixed facilities either as a hub or as a remote unit in the conventional Ku-band, which is not shared with terrestrial services. Accordingly, we invite comment on revising Section 25.277 to clarify the conditions under which we should consider licensing a temporary fixed VSAT network. First, we tentatively conclude that we should grant temporary-fixed VSAT applications only in the conventional Ku-band at this time. The conventional Ku-band does not raise the same potentially complex coordination issues as operations in the C-band. In addition, we do not yet allow VSATs of

A 180-day coordination requirement is consistent with the temporary-fixed earth station rules in Part 25 of the Commission's rules and addresses FWCC's concern that a given coordinated location at a port is occupied by an ESV only intermittently. We clarify, however, that dockside ESVs are not classified formally as temporary-fixed earth station services under Section 25.277 of our rules, because certain requirements for temporary-fixed earth stations would not be appropriate for ESVs. For example, the authorization and coordination period for temporary-fixed stations lasts only as long as the temporary-fixed station remains in a particular location. Unlike temporary-fixed earth stations, the coordination period for docked ESVs will be 180 days regardless of how long the ESV remains

Discussion. PanAmSat does not object to this proposal, provided that temporary-fixed VSAT hubs are required to comply with all Part 25 requirements. Spacenet and Hughes also support this proposal. Accordingly, we revise Section 25.277 to allow temporary-fixed Ku-band VSAT stations. We will impose the same fees on applications for temporary-fixed VSAT hubs and remote terminals as we currently apply to other VSAT hub and remote terminal license applications.
