C-Band Accelerated Relocation Done, Telesat Certifies

All the C-band clearing actions necessary to satisfy the Phase II relocation deadline are done, Telesat said Thursday in docket 18-122, filing its accelerated relocation certification. Thursday was the first day C-band satellite operators could file their Phase II certifications under procedures the FCC Wireless Bureau issued last month (see 2305150039). Telesat's initial plan had been to do both Phase I and Phase II ahead of the Phase I December 2021 deadline, but more Phase II clearance work that was identified delayed that timing, the company said in an accompanying update to its transition plan.
