U.S. & International Satellite Licensing
The successful introduction and ongoing operations of any satellite communications network are closely bound with international regulatory procedures. Implementing an international regulatory strategy requires an understanding of complex issues such as radio-frequency spectrum coordination, compliance with international satellite service agreements and in-country licensing approval.
Appreciating the different applicant eligibility requirements, licensee milestones, service conditions and filing obligations in the United States and around the world can present challenges for big and small companies alike.
Telecommunications Networks & Services
In addition to our extensive experience and expertise in the space and satellite sectors, we also support clients on a number of wider telecommunications matters. Our consultants have worked with various telecommunications regulators and ministries across the globe on the development of new legal frameworks, regulations, and policies relevant to the sector – covering both established and frontier markets. Our in-depth knowledge of these frameworks naturally positions us as a leading choice for private sector clients looking to better understand new market entry considerations and related compliance obligations.
