SpaceX FCC request to allow StarLink to service mobile subscribers
SpaceX is seeking regulatory permission to connect moving vehicles to its rapidly expanding Starlink constellation, branching the broadband network out of fixed homes and offices. The company is asking the FCC for authorization similar to the blanket license it already has for up to a million end-user customer Earth stations. David Goldman, SpaceX’s director of satellite policy, said in a regulatory filing that its Earth Stations in Motion (ESIM) equipment is “electrically identical to its previously authorized consumer user terminals but have mountings that allow them to be installed on vehicles, vessels and aircraft, which are suitable for those environments.” Posted by: 3dc 2021-03-09 |
