    Federal Communications Commission DA 19-1334 Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) IRIDIUM COMMUNICATIONS, INC. ) WT Docket No. 19-280 ) Petition for Waiver to Permit Use of Iridium ) Service to Meet GMDSS Requirements ) ORDER Adopted: December 26, 2019 Released: December 27, 2019 By the Deputy Chief, Mobility Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau: 1. Introduction. We have before us a petition filed by Iridium Communications, Inc. (Iridium) for waiver of several part 80 rules to permit vessels to select Iridium for the provision of Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) mobile satellite service.1 For the reasons discussed below, we grant the request subject to certain conditions. 2. Background. The GMDSS is “[a]n International Maritime Organization (IMO) worldwide coordinated maritime distress system designed to provide the rapid transfer of distress messages from vessels in distress to units best suited for giving or coordinating assistance.”2 Until recently, Inmarsat, Inc. (Inmarsat) was the sole mobile satellite service operator recognized by the IMO to provide GMDSS mobile satellite service, and the part 80 rules require certain vessels to carry an Inmarsat ship earth station.3 The IMO, however, recently recognized Iridium as a second provider of maritime distress and safety communications within the GMDSS, and amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (Safety Convention) that allow Iridium equipment to be carried in satisfaction of the GMDSS requirements will go into effect on January 1, 2020.4 In addition, the International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO) issued a Letter of Compliance on December 19, 2019, verifying that Iridium is ready to begin providing its GMDSS service.

  • FCC FACT SHEET* Streamlining Licensing Procedures for Small Satellites Report and Order, IB Docket No
    FCC FACT SHEET* Streamlining Licensing Procedures for Small Satellites Report and Order, IB Docket No. 18-86 Background: The Commission’s part 25 satellite licensing rules, primarily used by commercial systems, group satellites into two general categories—geostationary-satellite orbit systems and non-geostationary-satellite orbit (NGSO) systems—for purposes of application processing. The Commission’s satellite licensing rules, in particular those applicable to commercial operations, were generally not developed with small satellite systems in mind, and uniformly impose fees and regulatory requirements appropriate to expensive, long-lived missions. However, the Commission has recognized that smaller, less expensive satellites, known colloquially as “small satellites” or “small sats,” have gained popularity among satellite operators, including for commercial operations. Therefore, in 2018, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that proposed to develop a new authorization process tailored specifically to small satellite operations, keeping in mind efficient use of spectrum and mitigation of orbital debris. What the Report and Order Would Do: • Create an alternative, optional application process within part 25 of the Commission’s rules for small satellites. This streamlined process would be an addition to, and not replace, the existing processes for satellite authorization under parts 5 (experimental), 25, and 97 (amateur) of the Commission’s rules. • This new streamlined application process could be used by applicants for satellites and satellite systems meeting certain qualifying characteristics, such as: . 10 or fewer satellites under a single authorization. Total in-orbit lifetime of satellite(s) of six years or less. Maximum individual satellite wet mass of 180 kg. Propulsion capabilities or deployment below 600 km altitude.

    The Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review Panel c/o Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada 235 Queen Street, 1st Floor Ottawa Ontario K1A 0H5 Re: Review of the Canadian Communications Legislative Framework I. INTRODUCTION 1. Since 2001, Iridium Satellite Canada Ltd. (“Iridium Canada”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Iridium Communications Inc. (“Iridium”), has had the pleasure of dealing with the Department of Industry Canada and renamed Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (“ISED”). Iridium Canada submits these comments in response to the invitation from the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review Panel (“Panel”).1 The Panel is an external panel of experts which has been tasked with reviewing and updating the Telecommunications Act, Broadcasting Act, and the Radiocommunication Act. Given Iridium’s profile, we limit our comments to a discussion of proposed revisions to Radiocommunication Act. In the comments which follow, we provide a further introduction and then our answer to question #6 in the Terms of Reference on the subject of effective spectrum regulation. 2. As a leading Mobile Satellite Service company that provides true global coverage with its nongeostationary satellite orbit (“NGSO”) constellation, Iridium Canada’s experience with ISED and its predecessor has been limited to spectrum allocation issues relative to the Radiocommunication Act. In addition, Iridium is a joint venture partner in Aireon LLC with NAV CANADA and four European air navigation service providers. Aireon Canada Ltd, Aireon LLC’s Canadian subsidiary, also holds a spectrum license from ISED. II. OVERVIEW OF IRIDIUM COMMUNICATIONS INC. AND IRIDIUM SATELLITE CANADA LTD. OPERATIONS IN CANADA 3. After eighteen years of operations in Canada, Iridium has nearly completed replacing its current satellite system with Iridium NEXT, a state-of-the-art satellite system that will allow Iridium to provide more bandwidth and higher speeds for services relied on by its Canadian customers on land, in the air, or at sea.

From thunderstorms and lightning to cyclones, most parts of the world are experiencing extreme weather conditions. Storm forecasts are one way to mitigate the impact a storm has on an area both in the form of human safety and economics. Storms cause damage to an area’s vital infrastructure, they disrupt supply chains, cost billions of dollars each year in structural damages, and most importantly, lives are lost. Forecasting a storm allows for measures to be put in place to lessen the impact of these extreme storms and save lives.

  • Satellites: a Key Component of End-To-End Communications Solutions
    Satellites: A Key Component of End-to-End Communications Solutions Satellite communications services are critical to the economic and national security of the United States. They provide reliable communications to energy and natural resources companies, government agencies, the news media, public safety officials and first responders, search and rescue units, and the U.S. military. Increasingly, consumers seek end-to-end communications solutions that are reliable and robust. Typically this requires more than one communications technology. This white paper details the advantages that satellite communications networks provide when used as part of an integrated end-to- end communications solution. For the purposes of this paper, integrated end-to-end communications solutions will refer to those networks where satellite-based capabilities augment terrestrial wired and wireless networks, each operating in separate frequency bands (as distinct from MSS/ATC or ancillary terrestrial networks, where terrestrial capabilities operate in MSS bands). SIA is a U.S.-based trade association providing worldwide representation of the leading satellite operators, service providers, manufacturers, launch services providers, and ground equipment suppliers.1 Since its creation fifteen years ago, SIA has become the unified voice of the U.S. satellite industry on policy, regulatory, and legislative issues affecting the satellite business.
