Testing Shows Satellite Earth Stations Pose No 5G/UMFUS Threat, ViaSat Says

Earth station testing in California demonstrates that "careful design, placement and installation of 28 GHz earth stations" would let them coexist without problems alongside 5G and upper microwave flexible use system deployments, ViaSat said in a docket 14-177 FCC filing posted Thursday. The testing showed the earth station's power flux density levels, without any mitigation efforts, were below the FCC's required threshold except in one case, ViaSat said, saying additional shielding would be easy to install to rectify that.
