Globalstar Wins FCC Review on Use of Satellite Airwaves2013-11-04 09:30 by DanielaTags: Globalstar, FCC, satellite
The FCC has issued preliminary approval for satellite services provider Globalstar to use its spectrum in the 2.4 GHz band for terrestrial mobile services. A final decision on the request by company depends on votes under new FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, who was confirmed by the Senate on Oct. 29. "The FCC's release of Globalstar's requested Notice of Proposed Rulemaking last Friday represents a seminal development and yet another step forward in Globalstar's renaissance," said Jay Monroe, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to receiving the public's comments and working towards a final order over the next several months." Globalstar plans to use 11.5 MHz of previously-licensed S-band spectrum at 2483.5-2495 MHz, as well as the adjacent 10.5 MHz of unlicensed spectrum at 2473-2483.5 MHz. The company wants to offer high-speed wireless Internet service, or broadband, "very quickly in numerous areas of the United States." It will host a conference call Wednesday, November 6th, 2013, at 10:00am EST to discuss this recent development. Read more -here-
