MSV's GBBF system will incorporate Adaptive Interference Cancellation (AIC) technology to dramatically improve the service quality and efficiency of MSV's next generation service.

GBBF technology will form a key element in MSV's next generation hybrid satellite network, enabling MSV to minimize both the cost and complexity of the next generation satellites, while providing the ability to upgrade and evolve the system's planned 3-G cellular air-interface over the satellite's projected 15 year life.

The incorporation of AIC technology into the GBBF system will provide the most efficient Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) ever deployed by allowing the system to simultaneously optimize satellite and ATC system capacity through the incorporation of advanced, digital signal processing (DSP) based, real-time interference cancellation techniques.

Similar in concept to the principles employed in consumer devices designed for Acoustic Noise Cancellation, AIC will enable real-time cancellation of RF noise sources, including RF emissions from MSV's planned ATC system.

"We are thrilled to be teamed with ITT Industries, a world-class technology leader. They truly understand our vision," says MSV vice chairman and CEO, Alexander H. Good.

"This is the first, among many announcements we expect to be making in the upcoming months as we ramp up our network buildout. With the support of the best in class technology leaders like ITT, 'wireless everywhere', on a cost efficient basis, will soon be a reality."
