Procedures To Govern the Use of Satellite Earth Stations on Board Vessels in the 5925-6425 MHz/3700-4200 MHz Bands and 14.0-14.5 GHz/11.7-12.2 GHz Bands

Résumé

This document is a summary of the Report and Order adopted by the Commission in this proceeding. The Commission adopted licensing and service rules for satellite earth stations on vessels (ESVs) in the C- and Ku-bands that will provide regulatory certainty to ESV licensees, while protecting existing users in the bands. The new rules will further the Commission's goal of promoting market-based deployment of broadband technologies.
