LightSquared Announces Simple, Affordable Solution to GPS Interference
Issues
RESTON, VA, September 21, 2011 - LightSquaredT, a wholesale carrier building
a nationwide wireless broadband network that will create consumer choice and
industry innovation, has signed an agreement with Javad GNSS Inc. to develop
a system that will eliminate related interference issues for high-precision
GPS devices.
The Javad GNSS system can be adapted to work with high-precision GPS devices
including those already in the agriculture, surveying, construction and
defense industries.
Javad GNSS has completed the design, made prototypes and tested those
prototypes. Preproduction units will be released for public tests in
October, followed by mass production. High-precision receivers for
positioning applications are expected to go to market by November 2011 and
precision timing devices by March 2012.
"I have said from the beginning that this interference issue will be
resolved as soon as smart engineers like Javad Ashjaee put their minds to
it. With this new system, Mr. Ashjaee makes another mark for himself as a
cutting edge pioneer in the precision GPS industry, a field he has helped
shape for more than 30 years," said Sanjiv Ahuja, chairman and chief
executive officer of LightSquared.
"This breakthrough is a final step toward LightSquared's goal of building a
nationwide wireless network that will bring lower prices and better service
to Americans from coast to coast."
To develop the technology, Javad GNSS took the existing flagship receivers
and reconfigured the filters and linear amplifiers to make them completely
compatible with LightSquared's bottom 10 MHz of spectrum. It was a very
simple and inexpensive process and was developed in a matter of days. The
additional cost for this technology is not expected to increase the selling
price of the device to the customer.
"This interference problem is not a difficult one to solve, once you decide
to solve it,'' said Javad GNSS founder Javad Ashjaee. "We've begun
manufacturing preproduction models and expect to have 25 available within
two weeks - we are not talking in hypotheticals here."'
"The truth is that high precision GPS users have a wide range of
interference issues to contend with - from congested frequencies to
intentional jamming. LightSquared made this problem much easier to solve by
moving to spectrum farther away from the core GPS frequencies. As
LightSquared's spectrum neighbor, it's our obligation to build a wall
between our spectrum and LightSquared's. My filter accomplishes that goal,''
said Dr. Ashjaee. Good fences make good neighbors.''
"The tests conducted so far by the GPS industry did not take into account
the GPS modernization plan that is in place," said Dr. Ashjaee. "Since we
have demonstrated that LightSquared can certainly coexist with the current
GPS satellite signals, the coexistence will be even stronger when the new
GPS satellites with modern L1C, L2C and L5 un-encrypted codes are launched."
