LightSquared Asks FCC to Standardize GPS Design

Feb 7, 2012, 5:14 PM by Eric M. Zeman

LightSquared has requested that the Federal Communications Commission create a standard for GPS devices. Such a standard, says LightSquared, would help GPS devices and 4G networks co-exist in peace. The process involved in creating such a standard would likely take years to shape and implement. LightSquared is seeking FCC approval for its own proposed LTE 4G network, but has run into roadblocks in the form of GPS interference. LightSquared maintains that GPS equipment encroaches on the spectrum for which it paid billions of dollars.
