Lynk Tells FCC It Has Options for Different Nations' Interference Limits

Lynk's options for dealing with regulatory or interference limits at national borders include maintaining the location of the center of a cell beam some distance from the border so the cell edge meets the limit at or before the border, the company told the FCC International Bureau last week. It said another option is modulating the satellite's transmit power as a function of time during an overpass. Lynk said it won't operate in areas where it can't put a satellite beam consistent with regulatory thresholds. It said those thresholds will vary due to geography or jurisdiction, with there likely not being one power flux density limit that it will be subject to globally. Lynk said which option it takes will be determined in collaboration with its mobile network operator partners.
