dominated by three key players: Trimble, Leica, Topcon. What if the FCC approves
LightSquared’s plan, and thousands upon thousands of users need to upgrade their
equipment? Will they purchase the same brand they currently own?
the upgrade can vary greatly among GPS receiver models. Some receivers may not
require anything; some may require a new antenna design; and still others may
require a new antenna design and new GPS receiver circuitry design.

affected. I’m sure each manufacturer has a good idea about each of their
receiver models, but they aren’t talking yet.

> The answer, in my opinion, really depends on how much of an upgrade is
required. Since each GPS receiver model is designed differently, the extent of
the upgrade can vary greatly among GPS receiver models. Some receivers may not
require anything; some may require a new antenna design; and still others may
require a new antenna design and new GPS receiver circuitry design.
> Since LightSquared’s plan has changed considerably over the past few months,
and testing based on its latest plan isn’t complete (or even started in some
cases) yet, it’s too early to say how particular receivers are going to be
affected. I’m sure each manufacturer has a good idea about each of their
receiver models, but they aren’t talking yet.
