Interference Protection
Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I buy protection when I have a Comsearch Engineer do the Interference Analysis and Prior Coordination?

Starting with a Comsearch-engineered system gives you the best-coordinated facility in the industry and ensures that the most current data and engineering process were utilized at the time of your initial filing. Protection serves as the next step in the life of a microwave facility. The FCC rules mandate a coordination process and frequency protection will ensure that the process is seamlessly and completely followed. The initial coordination cannot address future changes in the interference environment; frequency protection can and will take care of this administrative and technical burden.

What do I receive from Comsearch if I purchase protection services?

Peace of mind, first of all. You receive the best Protection Service in the industry, with technical support from analysts and engineers with decades of experience and expertise. We provide a detailed monthly report on all activity, copies of all letters and case resolutions, and a quarterly newsletter summarizing the latest Industry and FCC developments. You have a link to a technical support group capable of helping you with all facets of your communications system.

What type of analyses does the Protection department run?

The Protection department runs a full interference analysis utilizing the latest software, technical information, terrain data, and industry/FCC specifications. We ensure that your systems are protected to the full extent of the industry objectives and standards.

What does it cost? Can I be billed quarterly instead of yearly?

The cost for the service is only pennies per day per facility and we offer substantial volume discounts. Billing can be designed around your needs and payment requirements.

What type of experience does Comsearch have in the Frequency Protection business?

Comsearch has been providing Frequency Protection Services for over 20 years with a dedicated department for this service. Currently we protect thousands of facilities for clients all over the United States. Every day we review and analyze hundreds of potential cases and resolve problems.

Will I still receive Prior Coordination Notification (PCN) letters if Comsearch is my protection agent?

Typically, all PCN letters will be redirected to Comsearch and will no longer be sent to your company. If so desired, we can notify the coordinators to send a copy of all PCNs to both Comsearch and you.

Will Comsearch contact the other coordinators to let them know that Comsearch is now my Protection Agent?

Comsearch will notify all coordination agents and affected carriers when we become your coordination agent.
