Lynk Says Proposed System Won't Constrain MSS

Lynk Global's proposed "orbit cell tower" satellite system would provide only intermittent coverage of up to 90 minutes per day for any part of the globe, unlike other “always-on” mobile satellite service systems, meaning opportunities for spectrum sharing through geographic or temporal separation, it told the FCC International Bureau in a filing Friday. It said its operations in cellular frequencies are limited by the need to coordinate with and obtain consent of mobile network operators, and those MNOs can manage spectrum access by satellite operators using the same techniques used to manage spectrum within the MNO’s terrestrial network.
