ABS Global wants to get permission for U.S. market access for its C- and Ku-band ABS-3A satellite. In an FCC International Bureau filing Wednesday, the Bermuda-based satellite operator said it wants to provide fixed satellite services including TV distribution, IP trunking, cellular backhaul and maritime services from ABS-3A's 3 degrees west orbit. ABS-3A has been operational since September 2015 and operates in the 3700-4200 MHz, 5925-6426 MHz, 10950-11200 MHz and 14000-14250 MHz bands, the company said.
