Calls for retest of new design
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Nov 2011 contrast of LightSquared's wireless broadband use offer found no poignant interference to mobile phone content and voice capabilities though did find poignant intrusion of many all ubiquitous purpose authorized Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. GPS receivers are used via a National infrastructures, in aviation moody reserve systems and by private users and emergency services.

Interference combined by LightSquared's use of EMS creates countless reserve and smoothness issues opposite this tellurian user base. The Federal Aviation Administration also arguable pision to safety-of-flight systems that advise pilots of coming terrain. GPS interference will check initial responders, augmenting police, glow and puncture services response time. Response time is directly compared to plant mankind and a border and costs of constructional damage. In a widespread disaster such as a whirly or earthquake, GPS pision would bushel a response by all state and sovereign agencies. Clearly, a impact to local, state and inhabitant reserve would be poignant and not an excusable risk.
LightSquared's office is correct in a quite blurb sense, nonetheless unconditionally unsupportable in a broader operational sense. This cuts to a heart of a new and fast emanate for a Nation: Should a pidend and chartering of frequencies opposite a increasingly co-occupied EMS be left only to a "compliance paradigm" mindsets of blurb interests or is it now time to vest operationally wakeful stakeholders in that process, as peers? Due to tellurian coherence on a GPS system, arguable entrance to GPS frequencies contingency be stable and managed as a National apparatus and no longer simply as a blurb opportunity.
To equivocate distinguished such a broadly damaging agreement in a future, a whole-of-government EMS Strategy contingency be combined in a partnership of DoD operations personnel, attention leaders and obliged legislators. A National process creation adequate use of warn from operational EMS experts within a DoD will effectively change and surprise destiny decisions on EMS pidend and licensing, severely shortening a intensity for dear inefficiencies, lawsuit and compared delays. With a stream stakeholders and policies in place, identical hurdles to this National apparatus - a EMS - are scarcely unavoidable in a future.
The Association of Old Crows recognizes a vicious impact that any source of determined GPS pision would have on a Nation's ability to work a vicious infrastructure (e.g. banking, telecommunications, transportation, utilities, and puncture services) or respond to crises or healthy disasters during all levels.
The AOC supports a exam commentary though recommends NTIA ask a FCC to secrete authorisation of LightSquared's wireless broadband service.
The AOC recommends that a FCC partially safeguard LightSquared's efforts to contention for retest a new pattern that does not meddle with a GPS system, given a creatively protected frequencies were unusable.
AOC is an general Electronic Warfare/Information Operations (EW/IO) organisation that promotes EMS operations and compared activities opposite military, municipal and blurb applications.
