The results of equipment tests conducted in Las Vegas indicate that LightSquared's proposed wireless broadband network would produce major interference with GPS systems. Changes to the proposal could reduce this interference, but not totally eliminate the problem.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is facing increased pressure to block a LightSquared from launching the wireless network. This wireless network has been designed to compete with the systems being rolled out by AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
LightSquared received approval from the FCC in January to build the wireless system but the agency stated that it would not turn on the wireless network until the GPS interference problems are sorted out.
LightSquared feels that the interference problems can be fixed whereas GPS equipment makers, companies and government agencies that rely on GPS technology argue that the wireless network would jam their systems.
