Industry Coalition Outlines Concerns With New LightSquared Test Plan
LightSquared has emerged from bankruptcy and is forging ahead on a test plan it says will protect GPS receivers from interference.

After recently exiting from bankruptcy as New LightSquared, the Reston, Va. satcom company is facing new opposition from an aviation coalition. The group is skeptical of LightSquared’s plan that promises to protect GPS receivers from interference from its use of frequencies in the L-band spectrum. The coalition—Aviation Spectrum Resources, Inc. (ASRI)—includes Airlines for America, Bristow, Cargo Airline Association, FedEx, HAI, IATA, NATA, Rockwell Collins IMS and UPS.
