Abstract:On June 30, 2011, LightSquared Subsidiary LLC (LightSquared) submitted a final report of the
technical working group co-chaired by LightSquared and the United States Global Positioning System
(GPS) Industry Council (USGIC)1 and organized in response to a condition in FCC Order and
Authorization, DA 11-133 (released January 26, 2011).2 The condition required that LightSquared help
organize and participate in a technical working group “that brings LightSquared and the GPS
community together” to address potential interference issues recently raised by members of the GPS
community.3 The Order “envision[ed] a working group in which cooperative and candid discussions
can ensue, and where information, including proprietary information, can be shared among the
participants with appropriate measures in place to protect the confidentiality of that information.”4 The
condition required submission of a final report that includes the working group’s analyses of the
potential for overload interference to GPS devices from LightSquared’s terrestrial network of base
stations, technical and operational steps to avoid any such interference, and specific recommendations
going forward to mitigate potential interference to GPS devices.
