Installation & Construction

After you file the application with the FCC, you may begin the construction phase. The FCC will not allow operation of the antenna until the formal license is granted. Requests for operation authority prior to the grant of the formal license, called a Special Temporary Authority (STA), can be made to the FCC, but will be granted only to those users who demonstrate special need.

Comsearch offers turnkey EF&I (Engineer Furnish and Install) solutions for satellite communications systems.

Additional Considerations

Once the FCC grants you a license, you must complete the earth station construction and bring the station into regular operation within 12 months from the date of the license grant. Pursuant to Part 25.133(b), each licensee must file with the commission a certification that includes the following information:

• name of licensee
• file number of the application
• call sign of the antenna
• date of license
• certification that construction of the facility as authorized has been completed
• certification that each antenna facility has been tested and is within 2 dB of the pattern specified in Part 25.209
• certification that the station is operational, including the date of commencement of service
• certification that the station will remain operational during the license period unless the license is submitted for cancellation
