The KoreaSat—7 LEOP operations will be performed at the following frequencies: 14003.5 MHz and 14499.0 MHz (V, H, and CP) in the uplink; and 12250.1 MHz and 12749.9 MHz (V, H, and CP) in the downlink. The LEOP operatlons will be coordmated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path." All operators of satellites in that path will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs.
