Air Fone Frequencies

This is a quick file on the subject of what frequencies are used for Air Fone
|
|
Telephone while in-flight air-to-ground. The following should give you some an
|
|
understanding of how it all works.
|
|
|
|
The FCC has issued rules on allocation of the 849-851/894-895 MHz bands for
|
|
air-ground radiotelephone service.
|
|
|
|
The most recent action was effective September 9, 1991:
|
|
|
|
1) Changed channel spacing from GTE Airfone Inc.'s de facto standards;
|
|
|
|
2) Ordered GTE to make its service available to other air-ground licensees
|
|
at non-discriminatory rates;
|
|
|
|
3) Divided each channel block into 6 control channels (P-1 through P-6)
|
|
and 29 communications channels (C-1 through C-29);
|
|
|
|
4) Provided for a communications channel bandwidth of 6 kHz;
|
|
|
|
5) Gave GTE 22 months to modify its current control channel scheme; during
|
|
this period, GTE can use the lower 20 kHz of each channel block, which
|
|
includes channels C-1, C-2, and C-3, for control. GTE then has another
|
|
38 months during which it can only use a 3.2 kHz control channel in
|
|
channel C-2 of each channel block. After these transition periods end
|
|
(September of 1996), GTE must switch to control channels marked P-1
|
|
through P-6 in the tables below;
|
|
|
|
6) Empowered the FCC to assign exclusively one control channel to each
|
|
air-ground licensee;
|
|
|
|
7) Limited the ERP of airborne stations to 30 watts maximum; and that of
|
|
ground stations to 100 watts maximum;
|
|
|
|
8) Limited the ERP of ground stations to 1 watt when communicating with
|
|
aircraft on the ground.

to separate communications channels from control channels.)
