SAT—LOA—19970926—00147 and Associated Frequency Bands for a Mobile— SAT—AMD—20001103—00156 Satellite System ORDER AND AUTHORIZATION Adopted: July 17, 2001 Released: July 17, 2001 By the Chief, International Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. By this Order, we authorize Iridium LLC (Iridium) to use spectrum in the 2 GHz band to provide Mobile—Satellite Service (MSS).‘ We also authorize Iridium to operate feeder uplinks in the 29.1—29.25 GHz band, feeder downlinks in the 19.3—19.7 GHz band, and inter—satellite links in the 23.18—23.38 GHz and 24.45—24.75 GHz bands. This action is a significant step in assigning this spectrum for MSS use and facilitates implementation of Iridium‘s proposed system‘s technology and service offerings in the marketplace. . BACKGROUND 2. Iridium proposes to construct and launch a mobile—satellite system comprised of ninety—six non— geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) satellites in eight orbital planes with twelve satellites equally spaced‘ © in each orbital plane." Iridium proposes to use service links® in the 2 GHz MSS band, feeder links® in the ‘ The term "2 GHz MSS Band" is used in this Order to refer to the 1990—2025 MHz (uplink) and 2165—2200 MHz (downlink) frequencies. These frequencies are allocated to the Mobile—Satellite Service (MSS) in the United States. See Amendment ofSection 2.106 of the Commission‘s Rules to Allocate Spectrum at 2 GHz for Use by the Mobile— Satellite Service, ET Docket No. 95—18, First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 12 FCC Red 7388 (1997), affd on recon., Memorandum Opinion and Order and Third Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Order, 13 FCC Red 23949 (1998), further proceedings, Second Report And Order and Second Memorandum Opinion and Order, 15 FCC Red 12315 (2000) (2 GHz Allocation & Relocation Proceeding). * Application of Iridium LLC, File No. 187—SAT—P/LA—97(96); IBFS File No. SAT—LOA—19970926—00147 at 1, A—7 (Iridium Application). * "Service links" are the radio links that transmit a user‘s messages in both directions between a user‘s earth terminal and the system‘s satellite(s). * "Feeder links" are the radio links that transmit a user‘s rriessqges in both directions between the system‘s satellite(s) and its gateway earth station(s), connecting the MSS network with the public switched telephone network. 1
