LightSquared Proposes Non-GPS Killing Network
But critics say it could still interfere with signals
Mobile broadband start-up LightSquared faced a major setback in attempting to launch a new national, high-speed, wholesale-only wireless network—namely, a federal engineering advisory group’s suggestion that the FCC should rescind its decision to let LightSquared build the network. The proposed network, the advisory group said in a report, could interfere with GPS signals in space and on the ground.
Now, LightSquared is offering up a new plan that it says would allow it to build the network without any damaging side effects by using a different block of spectrum that wouldn't interfere with GPS signals, reports the Wall Street Journal.
