Protecting GPS and Satellite Communications: Interference Costs Covered by Operators
This act aims to protect GPS and satellite communication devices from interference caused by new commercial terrestrial networks. It establishes that companies deploying such networks must cover all costs related to repairing, replacing, or upgrading devices affected by interference, for both government agencies and private citizens and businesses. This means if your GPS or satellite device stops working properly due to a new network, the company responsible for its deployment will have to cover the repair or replacement costs.
Key points
New terrestrial operations in the 1525-1559 MHz and 1626.5-1660.5 MHz bands are restricted until GPS and satellite communication protection conditions are met.
Companies deploying these networks must bear the full costs of upgrading, repairing, or replacing GPS and satellite communication devices impacted by their operations.
These costs include equipment, software, training, personnel labor, and other reasonably incurred expenses for both federal agencies and private entities.
