Air Fone Frequencies
by Leroy Donnelly

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