The FCC<\/b> has revised its satellite spectrum sharing rules, releasing a Report and Order on Nov. 15 to clarify how spectrum is shared between different satellite systems. The FCC said these revisions are meant to \u201cpromote market entry, regulatory certainty, and spectrum efficiency.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThe FCC has made real progress to modernize its space policies to ensure U.S. leadership,\u201d said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. \u201cToday\u2019s update to our satellite spectrum sharing rules allows first movers to enjoy the advantage they\u2019ve earned by daring to think big and take on risk, while also opening our skies to more competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the FCC, this new Report and Order clarifies sharing between Non-Geostationary (NGSO) systems licensed in different processing rounds. It grants primary spectrum access to systems approved earlier, while aiming to allow new entrants to participate in an established, cooperative spectrum sharing structure.<\/p>\n
One of the changes addressed is a long-term interference metric. The FCC adopts a 3% time-weighted average throughput degradation as a long-term interference protection criterion. According to the Report and Order, Amazon\u2019s Kuiper, Viasat, Telesat, Intelsat, and SpaceX all supported the 3% average, but OneWeb advocated for a stricter metric. <\/p>\n
The new Report and Order also addresses short-term interference metric, and other interference metrics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
