What are mobile satellite service systems?
Systems providing mobile satellite services use radio spectrum to provide services between a mobile earth station and one or more stations either in space or on the round at fixed locations. The radio spectrum is divided into “bands”, i.e. ranges of frequencies. Systems providing mobile satellite services have been allocated the 2 GHz frequency band throughout the European Union, comprising radio spectrum from 1980 to 2010 MHz for Earth to space communications, and from 2170 to 2200 MHz for space to Earth communications. This allocation has been done by means of a Commission Decision adopted on 14 February 2007: see here.
