Ligado Continues Push for PN on LTE Plans

Ligado continues to press the FCC for a public notice seeking comment on its proposed license modification and rulemaking request for sharing of 1675-1680 MHz. In an ex parte filing Wednesday in docket 12-340, Ligado recapped a meeting with its lawyers including ex-FCC Chairman Reed Hunt with current FCC staff including Wireless Bureau Chief Jon Wilkins and Office of Engineering and Technology Deputy Chief Ron Repasi at which it said it discussed its work with stakeholders on its network deployment plans. Putting out a PN "would provide all interested parties the opportunity to comment on the new power limits and the company's plans for terrestrial deployment and how these limitations will benefit all consumer GPS devices," Ligado said. It and others repeatedly have asked for a PN (see 1604040034, 1602120052 and 1602040015).
