General Dynamics Receives FCC License for Communication Satellite Access Using Vehicle-based SATCOM Terminals

General Dynamics

SATCOM Technologies has received a license from the Federal Communications Commission enabling continuous access to private- and government-owned communication satellites while on-the-move in vehicles. The license applies to four models of satellite communications ground-station equipment made by General Dynamics SATCOM Technologies. Previously, users of General Dynamics SATCOM Technologies' Vehicle Mounted Earth Stations or terminals could have their transmissions deferred to accommodate higher priority users. The new license gives vehicle-based satellite communications (SATCOM) the same priority as fixed-site and maritime SATCOM users.
