Satellite Regulation

Shaping satellite regulations for global connectivity

For over 25 years, we have developed regulations so new space networks can serve as many people as possible, worldwide and with fairness.  We continue this for non-Geostationary (NGSO) satellite systems and Direct-to-Device (D2D) links.  We have created rules and driven adoption of these services through regional and national processes in over 100 countries, partnering with regulatory authorities across the globe to develop best practice.

Regulators worldwide recognise our long-time collaboration through our continued partnership.

For advisory services, licensing frameworks, training, economic impact, and feasibility analysis, please contact our Space and Connectivity team.

CASE STUDY

Streamlining NGSO Market Access

 

We supported national regulatory authorities in developing world-class rules for NGSO systems that allowed their government departments, businesses and citizens to take advantage of these throughput and flexibility of these new space networks.

 

We supported the deployment of  ‘cell-tower-in-space’ satellite technology to expand global connectivity, conducting in-depth market access analysis across jurisdictions, identifying regulatory requirements and policy conditions for service rollout. In parallel, we developed a comprehensive spectrum availability map to help gauge potential demand for the technology across different regions. Our work provided the strategic insights needed to prioritize markets, streamline entry, and accelerate global expansion.
