Tests show wireless network could jam GPS systems

New government test results show that a proposed high-speed wireless broadband network being launched by a company called LightSquared could jam GPS systems used for aviation, public safety, military operations and other uses.

The results released this week by a federal working group come amid mounting concern that LightSquared’s planned network could cripple GPS systems embedded throughout the nation’s infrastructure. And they raise questions about whether the government will allow LightSquared to turn its network on as scheduled next year.
