Bill overview
This bill, the RETAIN GPS and Satellite Communications Act, aims to protect the Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite communications by placing restrictions on the use of specific radio frequencies. It requires companies deploying wireless networks in the 1525-1559 and 1626.5-1660.5 megahertz bands to reimburse the government for any interference caused to existing satellite communication devices and systems. The bill also mandates upgrades, repairs, or replacements to these devices if their operation is affected, ensuring continued functionality of critical government and private sector systems.
