Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC ('MSV') holds a license to operate a U.S. mobile satellite service (?MSS?) system in the L-band. MSV requests temporary authority to test and demonstrate new types of MTs that will operate with its licensed satellite, MSAT-2. While MSV currently holds blanket MT licenses, the technical parameters of the MTs to be tested and demonstrated pursuant to this STA are sufficiently different from those of MSV?s current MT licenses as to require approval from the Commission. Specifically, these MTs will operate with a wider bandwidth (up to 400 kHz) than MSV?s currently licensed MTs.
