Starlink Will Make 1990-1995 MHz Unusable for MSS Operators: Omnispace

October 24, 2023 |Satellite

SpaceX's planned use of the 1990-1995 MHz band for downlinks will mean more interference by "orders of magnitude" for Omnispace and other mobile satellite system operators than what SpaceX is claiming, Omnispace CEO Ram Viswanathan told FCC Space and Wireless Bureau staffers, per a filing Monday in docket 23-135. Viswanathan said the cumulative level of SpaceX interference would mean neither Omnispace nor other S-band MSS operators would be able to use the 1990-1995 MHz spectrum in large portions of the globe. SpaceX didn't comment.
