FCC Planet TV Petition

USAF AWACS Plane
The Planet TV Emergency Services Communication System
Please take a moment to sign this petition. It is requesting that the FCC evaluate and adopt the PTV Emergency Services Communication System into the 700MHz Public Safety spectrum. In order for your signature to be counted, you must confirm it by including a real email address AND by clicking on the confirm button when you receive the confirmation email. If you do not confirm your signature, it will not count on the petition. There is a known conflict with email addresses from AOL.

Hey Baxter,
Thanks for getting involved. My system uses FAA certified Cessna Citation jets with special wing and engine modifications. They get about 300-400% better fuel consumption than anything else and are considered extreme long-range planes. In our system’s normal operation, the jets fly very slowly. The wing and engine modifications allow the plane to fly at super-slow cruising speeds with ultra low fuel burn rates. Each plane covers over 15,000 square miles of land which means only 200 planes will be needed to cover the entire continental U.S.. The yearly fuel expenditures for operation of my system are less than the ground vehicle fuel requirements for yearly maintenance of alternative wired or tower based wireless systems (when you consider the requirement of covering the entire U.S. continent). Your idea about the Stratellite is possible if the technology can be perfected. I hope it can, but so far nothing has flown and some of the engineers now doubt that its performance envelope will match predictions. Recycle deployment costs may be a factor as well. This is similar to what happened with the space shuttle. But like you said, in the meantime we can use my system.
Thanks for the great question.

I don’t know if a system of only one type of equipment (plains or otherwise) could cover from all disasters and provide continuous coverage. Plains could have problems with hurricanes, volcanic explosions, or intense solar activity. The aircraft being unmanned or autonomous could solve some of the problems because you wouldn’t be risking human life. I do think airborne wireless will go a long way for the “low profit” areas that commercial companies don’t cover. But I don’t know if plains are the best way to go.

Good insightful posts here. Aircraft are risky resolution to this issue. Satellite technology seems the most robust long term solution.
