ISAT US is already licensed by the Commission to operate a set of fixed and maritime earth stations in the 19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30.0 GHz bands.1 The EM Cobra will operate with the Inmarsat Global Xpress I5F2 satellite from the 55º W.L. orbital location and the Lino Lakes Satellite Access Station, which have both been authorized for U.S. market access.2 ISAT US will be responsible for all technical aspects of the system during the testing and demonstration. The user terminal operations in the spectrum requested will be closely monitored by the Inmarsat Network Operations Center (NOC) and the engineering team associated with the demonstration. Additionally ISAT US requests to operate on a non-interference and non-protected basis. Description of Operations This STA will allow testing and demonstration of a new terminal that will facilitate further deployment of broadband communications to Inmarsat customers.
