The Boeing Co. is laying out plans to put more than 1,000 satellites into low Earth orbit to provide broadband internet service \u2013 and it wants to make sure the Federal Communications Commission preserves the spectrum they\u2019d use.<\/p>\n

Boeing thus joins a debate that involves other would-be satellite constellation operators, including OneWeb and SpaceX, as well as the telecom ventures that are planning for 5G broadband mobile services. Like OneWeb and SpaceX, Boeing envisions using a satellite constellation to provide wide-ranging access to the internet and other high-speed data services.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext-generation broadband satellite systems can bridge the broadband gap because they are able to deliver advanced communications service to all users at the same cost regardless of location,\u201d Boeing said this week in a filing with the FCC.<\/p>\n

Boeing says the system it\u2019s planning would use a range of the radio spectrum known as the V-band, plus another range called the C-band. The V-band is also being eyed by would-be 5G providers, but Boeing argues that the two types of services can co-exist.<\/p>\n
