Eutelsat Group Talks NGSO Interference Proposals With FCC

October 25, 2024 |Satellite

SpaceX and Amazon proposals for unavailability limits would make it impossible for non-geostationary orbit fixed satellite service operators to meet the high-availability requirements of public safety and government customers, Eutelsat/OneWeb said Thursday in docket 21-456. Recapping a meeting with FCC Space Bureau staffers in docket 21-456, Eutelsat/OneWeb said the limits SpaceX and Amazon's Kuiper are pushing are so relaxed that instead of coordination, operators will instead file technical compatibility studies that take up substantial FCC resources. Eutelsat/OneWeb discussed its support of O3b's rival proposal.
