Q

e Half of the waiver requests to which lnmarsat objects relate to a single issue: the susceptibility of lnmarsat terminals to MSV base station transmissions in urban areas - Since the Order, MSV has done substantial testing of lnmarsat terminals demonstrating they are more robust than lnmarsat claims - MSV’s proposed threshold is consistent with existing standards - NTIA’s conclusions support MSV’s proposal * MSV’s proposal to use 6%AT/T as an interference threshold is consistent with the ATC Order - Since the Order, MSV has developed and demonstrated the application of interference cancellation techniques that remove intra- system interference as a limiting factor for ATC deployment - lnmarsat would be subject to less interference than it is today if the FCC uses 6%AT/T as the appropriate inter-system interference threshold Mobile Satellite Ventures

a Other requests are not waivers - Variations that are consistent with the baseline r Deployment of 80% of ATC facilities in the United States > Use of terminals with lower gain antennas > Lifting of restrictions on non-co-channel operation - Technical corrections > Interference reduction attributable to half-rate vocoder - ESMSV -= T - - - I - L- Mo biIe Sat ell it e Ventures
