GNSS Manufacturer Refutes Confusion Regarding LightSquared
January 24, 2012"Many people confuse two issues regarding GPS and LightSquared," writes Javad Ashjaee in a new post on his company's website. "There are lots of confusions, wrong conclusions, and misleading reports in the media. They are results of mixing questions 1 and 2. People test old receivers (Question 1) and conclude that technology to build Light Squared-compatible receivers does not exist today (Question 2)."
See GPS/LSQ Confusion for the complete text of Ashjaee's answers to the two following questions. Here only the one-word initial answers appear, followed by a few excerpted quotes from the article.
"Q1: Are all existing GNSS receivers LightSquared compatible?
A1: No. [. . . . ]
Q2: Is technology available today to build LightSquared-compatible GNSS receivers?
A2: Yes. [ . . . . ]"
"The solution for low-precision, C/A code receivers is straightforward and very inexpensive," Ashjaee asserts further on in the article.
He states that "Scientific solutions are not decided by taking votes and counting the opinions of people. They are decided by theoretical and experimental proofs. We did this; and we showed it both in theory and in practice. So far, we have received no objection to all we have demonstrated."
Ashjaee concludes, "Paying a bit of attention to the facts and to the law one does not see to pound on the table, as it seems to be a fashion these days among countless bloggers and magazine editors."
