After receiving news that government tests showed its LTE network interferes with GPS communications, LightSquared this morning accused the GPS organization of “rigging” the study “to produce bogus results.” Trimble Navigation, one of the companies whose GPS equipment was used in the test, fired back by claiming LightSquared was trying to blame others “for the clear defects of (its) ill-conceived proposal” and failure to pass the review process. Meanwhile, the FCC is keeping the dust-up at arm’s length but said it won’t give LightSquared the necessary green-light to build out the network until interference problems are resolved. So LightSquared can point fingers and scream as loudly as it likes, but unless it can sail through interference tests its network simply isn’t going to happen.
