Regulators are beginning to tackle the controversial practice of re-using terrestrial spectrum for satellite direct-to-handset services. In terms of spectrum-related priorities, satellite firms have successfully held a 12 GHz reallocation in the US, while they fight to keep mobile out of the 6 GHz band going into WRC-23. Read more...

There is a large amount of traction in the satellite space with geostationary satellite operators moving into lower orbits and a raft of new and planned low-Earth-orbit constellations envisaging hundreds of thousands of new satellites orbiting the skies. These plans are being orchestrated through both inter-industry tie-ups and new operator… Read more...

Satellite operators continue to lobby for adequate measures to protect incumbent services in existing bands. With a view to full integration of satellite technologies and services into emerging 5G networks and support for non-terrestrial network solutions, in recent years the satellite community has become more actively involved in ITU 5G… Read more...

SES is a leading satellite operator which owns more than 70 satellites in both Geostationary (GEOs) and Medium Earth Orbits (MEOs). Read more...

The satellite industry entered WRC-19 with trepidation but declared itself satisfied with the result. Fears over 5G interference have receded, helping them pursue another key policy goal: being part of the emerging eco-system for the new mobile generation. The conference also finalised a momentous change - bringing competition to safety at… Read more...

WRC-19 was a boost for the satellite industry's 5G ambitions, enhancing its ability to offer broadband to cars, planes and trains. Delivering 5G rural broadband and LTE private networks is the subject of several new satellite ventures. Read more...

SES is a world leading satellite operator who provides secure satellite communication solutions across the globe. It owns more than 70 satellites in both Geostationary Orbits (GEOs) and Medium Earth Orbits (MEOs), offering connectivity to enterprise, mobility, maritime and government markets. Read more...

Spectrum policy in the satellite industry is dominated by two themes: a desire to be part of the emerging 5G eco-system and the need to protect their existing and upcoming investments, particularly in 28 GHz and 40 GHz. Read more...
