Thanks for reading this. I'm looking to correspond with hams who are
experts in GPS technology, and who are also familiar with a plan being debated at the FCC that will allow a company called LightSquared to install a terrestrial network in the L band 1 Satellite band adjacent to GPS. Because LightSquared is seeking to "repurpose" the L Band 1 for terrestrial use, there is a fierce debate raging over the possible affects the LightSquared network will have on Civilian and Military GPS receivers. The Air Force General who is in charge of GPS has stated publicly that the systems cannot coexist, while other claim that the interference claims are overblown and that they're being made by companies that stand to benefit by limiting competition in the cellular data space, or by companies making cheap GPS receivers who don't want to upgrade their designs. Please contribute your expertise, especially if you're able to comment on the likelihood that LightSquared's use of the 1510 - 1559 MHz spectrum will interfere with the proper operation of the GPS network, and how such interference would alter APRS. 73, Bill, W1AC (Remove QRM from email for direct replies) |
