Hughes Network Systems EchoStar XVII (Jupiter-1)
|
Hughes is authorized to construct, launch, and operate the EchoStar XVII (aka Jupiter-1) Ka-band GSO satellite at 107.1 deg west longitude, under FCC call sign S2753.
Jupiter-1 will be used to provide new high-speed satellite-based Internet service, which improves over slower Ku-band satellite Internet services. In the U.S., Hughes' Jupiter service will compete with Viasat's Exede service, also operating in the Ka band.
Hughes was granted a waiver to allow GSO FSS operations in the 18.8-19.3 GHz band (space-to-Earth) on a non-conforming basis. It must not interfere with non-GSO non-federal FSS or federal GSO and non-GSO operations in this band.
Hughes' authorization was granted by the FCC on June 12, 2012.
