  What is Fixed Satellite Service?
Satellite Communications: Mobile and Fixed Services is based on the premise that designers of future satellite systems must take account of the strong competition that satellites face from optical fibers.
Fixed Satellite Service operators brought in billions of dollars in revenues from carriers and service providers that leased satellite capacity to extend the reach of their services.
FSS operators can be broken down into two categories, regional and global, with only a handful of companies that truly qualify as global satellite operators with significant capacity directed at every continent.

 EPA: Federal Register: Fixed Satellite Service and Terrestrial System in the Ku-Band
As we discussed, NGSO FSS and fixed operations in the 10.7-11.7 GHz band will be able to coordinate their operations under the procedures in Part 101 for fixed operations and Part 25 for satellite operations.
Satellites in other orbits could receive higher levels of interference, as radiolocation systems will be radiating indiscriminately in directions outside of the plane of the GSO arc in a manner that is not able to be predetermined or constrained in order to fulfill the functions of the radiolocation operation.
We are allocating the 12.2-12.7 GHz band to the fixed satellite service for use by non-geostationary orbit satellite downlink operations on a co-primary basis.

 Satellite Applications
Satellite signals are sent directly to users through their own receiving antennas or satellite dishes, in contrast to satellite/cable systems in which signals are received by a ground station, and re-broadcast to users by cable.
Environmental monitoring satellites carry highly sensitive imagers and sounders to monitor the Earth's environment, including the vertical thermal structure of the atmosphere; the movement and formation of clouds; ocean temperatures; snow levels; glacial movement; and volcanic activity.
These satellites are typically self-contained systems that carry their own communications systems for distributing the data they gather in the form reports and other products for analyzing the condition of the environment.

 Commission Proposes to Redesignate Portions of the 18 GHZ Band; Allow Blanket Licensing of Fixed Satellite Service ...
In bands where GSO and NGSO FSS operators would have primary status (18.3-18.55 GHz and 18.8-19.3 GHz), the Commission proposed to "grandfather" terrestrial fixed service operations that have either been licensed or for which an application for a license has been filed as of the release date of this NPRM.
In addition, the Commission proposed a blanket licensing procedure that would allow GSO and NGSO FSS satellite earth stations in the Ka-band (18 GHz downlink band and 28 GHz uplink band) to operate under a single system license in those segments of these bands that are designated for their primary use.
FSS licensees are planning to deploy large numbers of small antenna earth stations, and the Commission is concerned about the feasibility of sharing between terrestrial fixed service and the numerous FSS earth stations.

 A Satellite-Switched CDMA System for Fixed Service Communications
The requirement for this type of service is the capability of call routing onboard the satellite; that is, the satellite will operate not only as a repeater but also as a switching center in space.
Such services, however, can only become economically feasible if the satellite communication capacity and throughput is sufficiently high with service quality comparable to the quality of wireline service.
Considering the long round-trip satellite propagation delay (200 ms), the main requirement of the access channel is to provide high probability of success with the first transmission attempt so that call setup time is minimized.

 Lewis Helps Examine Feasibility of Fixed Satellite Service ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The 27.5- to 29.5-GHz band also is allocated both domestically and internationally on a primary basis to the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS), and it is currently being used by the NASA Lewis Research Center's Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) for uplink transmissions.
The primary interference issue centers around the inability to collocate Fixed Satellite Service uplink terminals within reasonable separation distances from LMDS subscriber receivers, and the proposed ubiquitous deployment of Fixed Satellite Service terminals and LMDS receivers within the same service areas.
Limiting the primary spectrum available for satellite services in the 27.5- to 29.5-GHz band will potentially impede the growth of the satellite industry, reduce competition among satellite providers, and preclude future service opportunities yet to be identified.
