December 14, 2011Javad Ashjaee, CEO of JAVAD GNSS, has written a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski disputing the letter written by the PNT Executive Committee Advisory Board on August 21, and asserting that his company's newly developed filter technology will solve LightSquared interference problems with GPS. The opening paragraphs read:
The Honorable Julius Genachowski
Chairman
Federal Communications Commission

RE: LightSquared-GPS Interference Debate and Receiver Standards
Chairman Genachowski,
When the interference issues first surfaced between LightSquared and GPS, I looked into the problems and realized the deficiency was in existing receiver designs. Our filter systems had little protection against interference and were wide enough to invite in undesirable signals, resulting in degraded performance. We started to tackle this problem, and a few weeks ago produced a new filter system, which we offered to interested parties to test for themselves.
We showed that this new filter system has much better protection – in particular it has protection against LightSquared (10L) and its handset (10R). The new filter proved that the PNT Advisory Board’s letter from August 3, 2011 to you was full of false claims and misleading information, including that it would take many years and billions of dollars to fix this problem.
