  12. This is a quick file on the subject of what frequencies are used for Air Fone
  13. Telephone while in-flight air-to-ground.  The following should give you some an
  14. understanding of how it all works.
  15.  
  16. The FCC has issued rules on allocation of the 849-851/894-895 MHz bands for
  17. air-ground radiotelephone service.
  18.  
  19. The most recent action was effective September 9, 1991:
  20.  
  21.      1) Changed channel spacing from GTE Airfone Inc.'s de facto standards;
  22.  
  23.      2) Ordered GTE to make its service available to other air-ground licensees
  24.         at non-discriminatory rates;
  25.  
  26.      3) Divided each channel block into 6 control channels (P-1 through P-6)
  27.         and 29 communications channels (C-1 through C-29);
  28.  
  29.      4) Provided for a communications channel bandwidth of 6 kHz;
  30.  
  31.      5) Gave GTE 22 months to modify its current control channel scheme; during
  32.         this period, GTE can use the lower 20 kHz of each channel block, which
  33.         includes channels C-1, C-2, and C-3, for control.  GTE then has another
  34.         38 months during which it can only use a 3.2 kHz control channel in
  35.         channel C-2 of each channel block.  After these transition periods end
  36.         (September of 1996), GTE must switch to control channels marked P-1
  37.         through P-6 in the tables below;
  38.  
  39.      6) Empowered the FCC to assign exclusively one control channel to each
  40.         air-ground licensee;
  41.  
  42.      7) Limited the ERP of airborne stations to 30 watts maximum; and that of
  43.         ground stations to 100 watts maximum;
  44.  
  45.      8) Limited the ERP of ground stations to 1 watt when communicating with
  46.         aircraft on the ground.
  47.  
  48.  
  49. GROUND TO AIR CHANNELS
  50.  
  51. (NOTE:  "GB" in these listings denotes Guard Band, a series of 3 kHz spacings
  52.  to separate communications channels from control channels.)
