Anthem Seeks IB Approval for FSS VSAT Network

Insurer Anthem is seeking FCC International Bureau authorization for a fixed-satellite service very small aperture terminal (VSAT) network to provide two-way broadband data communications among its business units and affiliated service and support organizations. In an IB filing Tuesday, Anthem said the VSAT network will use geostationary Ku-band satellites with earth station uplinks in the 14-14.5 GHz band and downlinks in the 11.7-12.2 band.
