Harris CapRock Communications seeks FCC International Bureau approval for C- and Ku-band sea tests and trials of its SpaceTrack ST5000-2.4 earth station onboard vessel terminal (ESV), as well as an Intellian v240M ESV. In an IB submission Wednesday, Harris CapRock said it expects to start testing Aug. 14 on a pair of Carnival cruise ships and to run up to 180 days. The company is developing ESVs to communicate with both geostationary and non-geostationary fixed satellite service satellites.
