MSS Allocation Would Alleviate Bottleneck, Say Kepler, Spire

March 31, 2023 |Satellite

Kepler and Spire continue to urge FCC support for a small-satellite mobile satellite service (MSS) spectrum allocation in the 2020-2025 MHz band. In an RM-11869 filing Thursday, they recapped a meeting with International Bureau staffers in which they said having 1 MHz for downlink and 4 MHz for uplink would help in alleviating spectrum bottlenecks faced by emerging MSS operators. The two petitioned for the allocation in 2020 (see 2012220049).
