The FCC granted Global Data Systems 60-day special temporary authority to operate its very small aperture terminal network “with a relocated existing hub and new 9.4-meter and 7.2-meter hub antennas” in the 14.0-14.5 GHz and 11.7-12.2 GHz bands, said the International Bureau in a public notice (http://bit.ly/1fn4GcP). It granted SES’s application for a 30-day STA to communicate with a Netherlands-licensed satellite, NSS-806, at 47.5 degrees west location, it said. The STA is “for the limited purpose of characterizing the C-band interference environment” in the 6050-6258 MHz and 3825-4033 MHz bands, it said. Gogo requested special temporary authority to allow up to 15 earth stations aboard aircraft to communicate with Intelsat 904 and Eutelsat 172A satellites for coverage of Russia, said an application to the bureau (http://bit.ly/IiqUOt).
