ESIM Transmission Logs Unnecessary Burden, Hughes Says

In its earth stations in motion proceeding, the FCC should ax antenna pointing accuracy requirements for effective isotropic radiated power density limits, since that would give ESIM operators the choice of avoiding interference by reducing transmitted power or by narrowing the ESIM's transmit beam width, Hughes Network Systems representatives told International Bureau staffers, according to a docket 17-95 ex parte filing Friday. Hughes said the agency should cut "unnecessary" data logging requirements such as ESIM transmission logs and aggregate its ESIM rules into one rule part.
