Boeing Application Comments Deadline Set for Dec. 1

The deadline for comments and petitions to deny Boeing's application for a V-band non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite constellation is Dec. 1, with responses and oppositions to petitions due Dec. 12 and final replies due Dec. 19, the FCC International Bureau said in a public notice Tuesday. The bureau also set a March 1 deadline for applications and petitions for declaratory ruling on similar NGSO satellite operations in the same frequency bands. The bureau said it was deferring consideration on Boeing's request to operate in the 42-42.5 GHz and 51.4-52.4 GHz frequency bands, since they're not allocated for satellite service and won't include them in the processing round pending action on a waiver request the company submitted in September to let it operate in the 51.4-52.4 GHz band. The PN and processing round were expected (see 1607110043).
