Hiber Seeks OK for Up to 10,000 Earth Station Terminals

Hiber wants a blanked license to operate up to 10,000 mobile earth station user terminals in conjunction with its planned 24-satellite non-voice non-geostationary constellation (see 1908160043). In an FCC International Bureau application Tuesday, it said the IoT user modems will be dormant 99 percent of the time, operating only when a satellite is overhead, and are designed to operate in the field for up to 10 years on a single battery. It said they will operate in the 399.9-400.05 MHz band for uplinks and the 400.15-401-MHz band for downlinks.
