Hughes, SpaceX Reach Coordination Agreement

Hughes reached a coordination agreement with SpaceX to ensure operations of its Jupiter 3 high-throughput satellite in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6- 29.1 GHz bands won't interfere with SpaceX, Hughes said in an FCC Space Bureau filing Tuesday. It said the coordination agreement also covers Jupiter 1 and 2 operations. Hughes said both companies have operated their satellite networks in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands with no report of any harmful interference, and the coordination agreement should reasonably extend to any additional SpaceX non-geostationary orbit operations in the bands.
