The company has partnered with established GPS manufacturers to develop technology that eliminates interference issues for high-precision GPS devices, including those in the agriculture, surveying, construction, and defense industries. LightSquared said Wednesday that it has an affordable solution to interference between its 4G network and GPS systems and will have working units available for tests planned by the U.S. government in the coming months. If LightSquared is allowed to proceed with its plans, low-power satellite-based GPS signals would receive massive interference from land-based high-power transmissions from LightSquared's planned network of 40,000 stations, it said in a study earlier this year.
In the letter, Mr. Ahuja reaffirms LightSquared's commitment to making wireless broadband accessible and affordable across America through the company's wholesale-only nationwide 4G-LTE network integrated with satellite coverage.
To Americans everywhere,
Recently, concerns have been raised about interference with GPS devices. We are making a $150 million private investment in the solution for GPS. With 99.5 percent of all commercial GPS interference accounted for and solved, LightSquared has now tackled solving the remaining .5 percent of GPS interference occurring on precision devices that also inappropriately violate our licensed spectrum. The need for additional wireless broadband is imminent. Regulators from both Democrat and Republican Administrations have conducted reviews and tests of the LightSquared network—the most extensive in the history of the FCC—and both have reached the same conclusions: they support the LightSquared network.
