Satellite Personal Communications Networks (S-PCN) - Mobile Earth Stations (MES) including handheld earth stations, for S-PCN in the 1,6/2,4 GHz bands, providing voice and/or data communications under the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS)
The present document sets out certain minimum performance requirements and technical characteristics of Mobile Earth Stations (MESs) with both transmit and receive capabilities for operation in a Satellite Personal Communications Network (S-PCN). An S-PCN MES may be a handheld, portable, vehicle-mounted, host connected, semi-fixed or fixed equipment, or may be an element in a multi-mode terminal. It may consist of a number of modules with associated connections and user interface, or may be a self contained single unit. If the MES is an element in a multi-mode terminal, unless otherwise stated in the present document, its requirements apply only to the S-PC
