Media Alert: MSSA Statement on FCC SCS Ruling

“The MSSA welcomes that the Commission clarified in the SCS Report and Order that mobile satellite systems like those of our member companies that use globally allocated MSS spectrum will continue to be able to provide direct-to-device (D2D) service without coming under the SCS framework.

We also are encouraged that the FCC designated SCS as a secondary service, rather than designating it co-primary domestic status under the original NPRM proposal, and that internationally the U.S. licensed SCS services will be on a non-interference basis.

We appreciate the Commission’s recognition that the use of the 1910-1915 MHz/1990-1995 MHz band for SCS would present the potential for interference into already-authorized primary MSS services, and that the mere creation of the SCS framework does not guarantee that it will automatically authorize SCS in a requested frequency band.”
