<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Bharti Enterprises<\/a> chairman Sunil Mittal<\/a>, who took over as executive chairman of OneWeb<\/a>, said the satellite firm plans to offer broadband services<\/a> in India by May\/June 2022, and is currently in talks with the Indian Space Research Organisation and other authorities. Mittal told ET’s Romit Guha that OneWeb's broadband services will not conflict with Bharti Airtel<\/a>'s mobile services as it will serve areas such as deserts and mountainous regions, which are currently unconnected but has demand for such services. Edited excerpts:

Does Bharti Global plan more investments into OneWeb in the near term?
<\/strong>
We need a total of $2 billion, out of which $1 billion has already been committed - $500 million by the British government and $500 million by Bharti Global. We have a lot of investor interest from other parties, so we will be able to secure this $2 billion and the company will be on its own feet. We have no debt at the moment, so we will fund it more or less entirely with equity to kick off ...

By when can we expect the rest of the $1 billion to be tied up?
<\/strong>
A lot of investors are engaged, talks are going on, so I would say it should be in a matter of a few months. Already $50 million has been announced by Hughes and $90 million has been announced by SoftBank... the rest $800 odd million will be raised. In the coming weeks, at least one investor will be announced and there are others in the coming months.

When will we see OneWeb start services in India?
<\/strong>
India is slated for service in May-June 2022. October next year, we will provide services in 50 degrees north which will be all of UK, Northern Europe, Polar and Alaska and northern part of Russia. We will start to test these services (in India), sometime in 6-8 months but these services will not be 24\/7. Every day, you will have a few hours of service because the satellite revolves around the whole globe. We will start to work with
ISRO<\/a>, other government agencies, start to show through the concept, the power of this satellite constellation in terms of low latency, high speed and high bandwidth. So, by May-June, every inch of India will be covered.

Do you expect any regulatory challenges to the launch?
<\/strong>
So, 30 countries have licensing requirements. We have already got the permissions in many of the countries. The rest of the world does not need any permissions. India is one of those 30 countries. We are already engaged with ISRO. The good news is that the Prime Minister has taken upon himself to ensure that there is a private participation in the space program of India. So, yes, we will be applying for landing rights, permissions, setting up ground stations in India.

You have a lot of global competition in this segment...
<\/strong>
Yes, I would say SpaceX is one. And there are two proposed constellations, we don't know what the status would be. One is Amazon and the other is Telesat… Competition is not new to us and competition brings out the best in everyone. OneWeb is first of the block… It has spectrum priority all over the globe. It has the highest priority, which means other companies which are setting up LEO (low earth orbit) constellations will have to coordinate with us and ensure there is no interference in our network. That gives us huge advantage in the space. The US is one country where both SpaceX and us have equal priority. Rest of the world we have the highest priority, then SpaceX and then of course Amazon, Telesat and all others...

In India, what is the scenario? It's still in the evolution stage...
<\/strong>
Yes, but that’s for landing rights, launching of rockets, satellites and the whole space program but as far as spectrum is concerned, India is a signatory to ITU and all countries have an agreed plan on spectrum. So, India is part of that spectrum priority.

Does it compete with an offering from, say, Bharti Airtel?
<\/strong>
No. In fact, we will complement and supplement because in places where we have a fixed network it can never compete with a radio network. Where you have the radio network, you can’t compete… satellite is much more expensive. So, there are places where we have not been able to go.. Nobody has been able to go, deep forests, deserts, polar, Himalayas. These will be areas where people want broadband but don't have it. So, it really gives a complementary service to mobile networks. It is not in competition.

What does this mean for Bharti Global?<\/strong>

Bharti Global is a part of Bharti Enterprises just as Bharti Airtel or Airtel Africa is. Bharti Global is leading the charge on the satellite. It will be part of the same group. We will be leading the management. We have hired a new CEO. The board is being recast. In this, my son Shravan Mittal, who is MD of Bharti Global, has taken a big role. He has been driving this project for the last four months, he is actively involved.

Bharti企业主席苏尼尔•米塔尔,接任执行主席OneWeb说,卫星公司计划提供宽带服务可能/ 2022年6月,在印度的投资,目前正在与印度空间研究组织和其他有关部门。米塔尔告诉ET Romit古OneWeb的宽带服务不会冲突Bharti Airtel的移动服务,因为它将为沙漠和山区等领域,目前无关,但对这些服务的需求。编辑摘录:

Bharti全球计划在短期内更多的投资到OneWeb吗?

我们总共需要20亿美元,其中10亿美元已经被英国政府承诺5亿美元,5亿美元Bharti全球。我们有很多从其他各方投资者的兴趣,因此我们将能够获得这20亿美元,该公司将自己的脚上。目前我们没有债务,所以我们将与股票基金,或多或少完全启动……

通过我们预计什么时候可以剩下的10亿美元是忙吗?

很多投资者都订婚了,谈判正在进行中,所以我认为它应该在几个月的问题。休斯已经宣布了5000万美元和9000万美元已经宣布了软银……其余的奇怪的百万将提高800美元。在未来的几周内,至少有一个投资者会有其他人在未来几个月内公布。

当我们看到OneWeb开始服务在印度吗?

印度在2022年5月- 6月的预定服务。明年10月,我们将提供服务在50度将所有的英国、北欧、极地和阿拉斯加和俄罗斯的北部。我们将开始测试这些服务(在印度),在6 - 8个月,但这些服务不会是24/7。每一天,你会有几个小时的服务,因为卫星围绕着整个世界。我们将开始工作ISRO其他政府机构,通过概念开始显示,这种卫星星座的力量在低延迟、高速度和高带宽。所以,5月- 6月,印度将覆盖的每一寸。

你期望任何监管挑战发射?

所以,30个国家有许可要求。我们已经得到许可在许多国家。世界上的其他国家不需要任何权限。印度是一个30个国家。我们已经与ISRO。好消息是,总理已经乐动扑克对自己,以确保有一个私人参与印度的太空计划。所以,是的,我们将申请着陆权,权限,在印度建立地面站。

你有很多全球竞争在这段…

是的,我会说SpaceX公司就是其中之一。有两个提议的星座,我们不知道是什么状态。一个是亚马逊,另一个是通信卫星…不是我们和竞争带来新的竞争最好的每一个人。OneWeb第一块…它的光谱优先全世界。具有最高优先级,这意味着其他公司建立LEO(低地球轨道)星座必须配合我们,确保没有干扰网络。空间为我们提供了巨大的优势。美国是一个国家,SpaceX公司和我们都有同等的优先考虑。世界最高优先级,然后SpaceX当然亚马逊,通信卫星和其他所有人……

广告
在印度,这个场景是什么?它仍然是在进化阶段……

是的,但是这是着陆权,发射火箭,卫星和太空计划整个频谱而言,印度是一个签署ITU和所有的国家都有一个同意计划频谱。所以,印度是光谱的一部分。

它与祭,比如从Bharti Airtel吗?

不。事实上,我们将补充和补充,因为我们有一个固定的地方网络它永远比不上一个广播网络。你有无线网络的地方,你不能竞争…卫星是昂贵得多。所以,有些地方我们无法去. .没有人能够去,深森林、沙漠、极地,喜马拉雅山脉。这些地区人们想要宽带,但没有。所以,这真的给移动网络配套服务。这不是竞争。

Bharti全球这是什么意思?

Bharti全球是Bharti Enterprises正如Bharti Airtel的一部分或非洲的旅馆。Bharti的全球领先的卫星上的电荷。将同一组的一部分。我们将领导管理。我们已经聘请了一位新的首席执行官。董事会正在重塑。在这方面,我的儿子米塔尔董事长,Bharti全球医学博士,一个重要的角色。他一直在推动这个项目在过去的四个月,他是积极参与。
