SpaceX's SCS Responses Non-Responsive: Omnispace

SpaceX's answers to the FCC's Space Bureau about proposed supplemental coverage from space service (see 2311150022) don't answer some bureau questions, such as not providing an interference analysis for operations in the 1990-1995 and 1910-1915 MHz bands, Omnispace said Monday in docket 23-135. And rather than a monte-carlo simulation regarding interference expected to be seen by other operators, SpaceX conducted a "barebones analysis" focusing on a single Omnispace satellite even though there will likely be other global, S-band, non-geostationary orbit, mobile satellite system operators in the future, Omnispace said. SpaceX recapped a meeting with Space and Wireless Bureau and Office of Engineering & Technology staff at which it discussed its answers and urged the agency "not to allow the false, shape-shifting claims of speculative foreign systems to deprive American consumers of the real and potentially life-saving benefits of supplemental coverage from space."
