Protecting GPS and Satellite Communications: Interference Costs Covered by Operator
This act aims to protect the operation of GPS and satellite communication devices used by both citizens and institutions. It establishes that companies introducing new terrestrial services that might interfere with these systems must cover all costs for repairing, replacing, or upgrading equipment to ensure continuous operation. This means if your GPS device stops working due to new services, the company responsible for the interference will have to fix it at their expense.
Key points
Companies deploying new terrestrial operations in specific frequency bands must ensure they do not interfere with GPS and satellite communications.
If interference occurs, these companies are obligated to cover the full costs of repairing, replacing, or upgrading GPS and satellite devices for both government and private users.
This includes costs for engineering, equipment, software, and even replacing entire systems if necessary to restore full functionality.
