This licensing scheme allows the use of satellite systems to facilitate transmissions of large amounts of data as is the case with news vans (SNG).
This licensing system includes fixed earth stations and transportable earth stations. This licence type will also cover teleport facilities consisting of two or more satellite earth stations that are capable of operating to multiple satellites. Satellite systems offer a high degree of flexibility to accommodate the broadband needs of today’s telecommunications networks.
Applicants should be aware that there are several satellite services which are licence exempt. Before applying for a licence, please check our licence exemptions page.
More information can be found in our guideline document – Guidelines for applicants for satellite earth station (SES) licences operating in spectrum above 3 GHz – 00/64R3.
