The UK telecoms and media regulator, Ofcom<\/a>, has today proposed to update their Earth Station Networks (ESN) licence so that the new generation of Non-Geostationary Satellite<\/a> Orbit (NGSO) platforms (e.g. Starlink<\/a> and OneWeb<\/a>) can be used at sea to “deliver improved maritime connectivity<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Every network operator delivering Fixed Satellite<\/a> Services (broadband) to UK based satellite<\/a> terminals must hold an Earth Station Network licence. Existing satellites in a much higher Geostationary Orbit (GSO) are already supported for delivering maritime connectivity, thus Ofcom<\/a>’s planned licence change will allow NGSO services to access and use spectrum in the same way, while mitigating any risk of undue or harmful interference.<\/p>\n

All of this is important because, over the past few years, we\u2019ve seen the emergence of a new generation of Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit<\/strong> (NGSO) satellites, such as the mega constellations in Low Earth Orbit<\/strong> (LEO – typically around 500-1300km) from OneWeb<\/a> and Starlink<\/a>, which can deliver relatively fast latency times (under 100 milliseconds) and ultrafast (100Mbps+) broadband speeds.<\/p>\n

Ofcom<\/a>’s Proposals<\/strong><\/p>\n

a) Authorisation of NGSO maritime earth stations, to clarify that these services are permitted in the territorial seas of the UK, Isle of Man and Channel Islands and so ensure all NGSO services operate under the same licence conditions;<\/p>\n

b) New licence conditions to support the protection of GSO satellite services, radio astronomy and fixed links from harmful interference caused by NGSO systems;<\/p>\n

c) The addition of a definition of the geographical boundaries of the licence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The consultation<\/a> on all this will be open for feedback until 7th July 2023. We should point out that adding official NGSO support for maritime connectivity won’t just result in improved broadband connectivity at sea, since we know that some mobile operators (e.g. EE<\/a> \/ BT<\/a>) are also looking at extending their 4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a> coverage using related connectivity on cruise ships etc.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 15th Sept 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ofcom has now confirmed these changes.<\/p>\n

What we have decided \u2013 in brief<\/strong><\/p>\n

After considering all consultation responses we have decided to introduce the following changes to the satellite Earth Station Network licence:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Inclusion of NGSO maritime earth stations to ensure that all NGSO operators hold an Earth Station Network licence; and to clarify that these services are permitted in the territorial seas of the UK, Isle of Man and Channel Islands;<\/p>\n

\u2022 New licence conditions to support the protection of GSO satellite services, radio astronomy and fixed links from harmful interference caused by NGSO systems;<\/p>\n

\u2022 The addition of a definition of the geographical boundaries of the licence.<\/p>\n

The new\/updated licence will be issued to all new applicants granted an Earth Station Network licence in future. The updated terms will be issued to all existing licence holders in the form of a variation to their current licences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
