MSV To Launch New Telecom Satellite Reston VA (UPI) May 25, 2005 Mobile Satellite Ventures said Wednesday it is moving closer to establishing a combination terrestrial-satellite wireless telecom network. The Federal Communications Commission has given the company approval to launch and operate the latest generation L Band satellite and park it in a 101-degrees west longitude geostationary orbit. On April 5, MSV's Canadian affiliate gained the right to launch an L Band satellite at 107.3 degrees WL. Together, the satellites will allow MSV to use the full width of its licensed spectrum, and allow subscribers to use satellite wireless devices that are virtually identical to cellular phones, the company said in a statement. "The FCC's authorization enables MSV to deploy a ubiquitous, interoperable and redundant integrated satellite-terrestrial system that will allow us to finally fulfill the dream of wireless everywhere," Alexander H. Good, vice chairman and chief executive officer of MSV, said in a statement. "This authorization allows us to move our focus from the regulatory arena to building out the world's most innovative and capable wireless network using the most powerful satellites ever built and our patented ancillary terrestrial component technology."
