A Non-Issue for Dish customers.
Launches their satellites? I couldn't find any news of Spectrum Five contracting to build a satellite yet.A very real issue for Dish when Spectrum launches their satellites. Sprectrum has permits to broadcast into the United States and the FCC has ruled that any interference above the level that E8 produced will not be allowed. When you plant a new satellite between 110 and 119 and are using a multisatellite dish for 110/119, interference can indeed occur. Dish was asleep at the switch when they did not file new applications for higher power on E11 long before it was needed.

Here is the link to the orignal filing for spectrum 5.. BTW other than the FCC there is nothing known about this company? Maybe this is XstreamHD?

The company appears to be based out of the Netherlands from what I can tell in the filings. The only other thing that I could find about them is that they seem to claim to have invented or are associated with the inventor of spotbeams.

Spectrum Five was acquired by General Dynamics a few years back. I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to leverage a deal with Dish to lease space on their satellites. I believe their plan was to deploy two satellites at 114.5 W, I think because they have a history of producing smaller satellites.
Agenda here?
Dish says Spectrum Five did not demonstrate that their sat would not interfere with E8 and also stated that a design change would be required by Spectrum to make sure that did not happen. Spectrum did not do this so Dish went forward with E11. Now Spectrum, which I cannot find any info on and see no plans anytime soon to construct and launch a satellite, is abusing the system for what purpose? Does DirecTV have stock in Spectrum Five?
Where are any links to this company?
