New Delhi: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai<\/a>) is set to commence consultations soon with stakeholders on the allocation methodology for satellite spectrum<\/a>. The regulator will deliberate whether spectrum should be given through auction or administratively allocated to satellite firms and in which bands, a mix usage can be proposed, so that both telecom operators and satellite players can co-exist.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT<\/a>) has provided information around spectrum availability in various bands like Ku and Ka, used for satellite communications, to Trai. Currently, Ku band<\/a> is administratively allocated by DoT but there has been growing demand from telecom companies, primarily Reliance Jio<\/a> and Vodafone Idea<\/a>, that allocation of spectrum should be done through auctions only.
DoT too feels that although satellite companies need spectrum at few locations for setting up their earth stations but to serve customers, who are spread across the country, they need access spectrum and for allocating access spectrum, auction is the desired way. DoT’s stance comes in the backdrop of the Supreme Court 2012 order, which had clearly stated that access spectrum should be given through auctions.
The DoT though will leave the decision to Trai to suggest allocation methodology for satellite spectrum.
There has been a clear divide among telecom operators regarding allocation of spectrum for satellite communications. Bharti Enterprises Chairman Sunil Mittal has categorically stated several times that satellite broadband spectrum should be given administratively as has been the practice in the rest of the world, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea are opposing it. In fact, due to lack of policy around spectrum allocation for satellite communications, Bharti Group-backed Oneweb has not been able to launch services in the country, despite getting the requisite global mobile personal communication by satellite (GMPCS<\/a>) license and other regulatory approvals.
Reliance Jio too has entered the satellite communications space through their joint venture with Luxembourg-based space technology firm SES. However, despite their entry in the segment, Jio has been maintaining that spectrum should be auctioned and not given administratively for satellite communications. SES though differs with Jio and doesn't support auction for getting spectrum.
Satellite communication (Satcom<\/a>) services may gain traction in the near future in India once the regulatory policies are in place. Elon Musk owned Starlink had even started to take pre-bookings from Indian consumers for their satellite broadband but was asked to stop by DoT as the company had not taken a license. The company then refunded the money to people. Similarly, Amazon had evinced interest in the Indian market while Oneweb had planned to launch services by May 2022.
The Department of Space (DoS) is also working on the space policy, which once finalised, will be shared with DoT for spectrum needs. In the meanwhile, Trai will also come out with its recommendations on satcom services.
Satcom is very useful for providing broadband services in remote, hilly and inaccessible regions. It is also the only medium through which communication can be established in disaster zones when normal communication gets affected. With the prevalence of low-earth orbit (Leo) satellites, broadband speeds of 200 mbps to 300 mbps can be achieved.

新德里:印度电信管理局(火车)将很快开始磋商与利益相关者的分配方法卫星光谱。监管机构将深思熟虑的频谱是否应通过拍卖或行政分配卫星公司和乐队,可以提出混合使用,因此电信运营商和卫星玩家可以共存。
电信部门(点)提供了信息频谱可用性在不同的乐队像Ku和Ka,用于卫星通信、火车。目前,Ku波段由点管理分配,但从电信公司有不断增长的需求,主要是依赖吗Jio和沃达丰的想法,应该只通过拍卖的频谱分配。
点也觉得虽然卫星公司需要频谱在几个地点设置他们的地球站但服务客户,在全国各地,他们需要访问频谱分配接入频谱,拍卖是理想的方法。点的立场是2012年最高法院的背景下订单,已明确表示,通过拍卖访问频谱应给予。
点虽然会离开火车的决定表明卫星频谱分配方法。
电信运营商之间有一个清晰的划分对卫星通信的频谱分配。Bharti Enterprises主席苏尼尔•米塔尔已经多次明确表示,卫星宽带频谱管理方式应该为一直在世界其他地区的实践,依赖Jio和沃达丰的想法是反对它。事实上,由于缺乏政策在卫星通信的频谱分配,Bharti支持Oneweb未能发射服务,尽管获得必要的全球移动个人通信卫星(gmpc作)许可证和其他监管机构的批准。
依赖Jio也进入了卫星通信空间通过他们与卢森堡SES空间技术公司的合资企业。然而,尽管他们的入口段,Jio一直保持这种光谱应该被拍卖,而不是给予行政卫星通信。SES虽然不同Jio和不支持频谱拍卖。
卫星通信(卫星通信)服务可能获得牵引在不久的将来在印度一旦监管政策。Elon Musk拥有我们甚至开始从印度消费者预购的卫星宽带但被点要求停止为该公司没有许可证。然后公司退还钱的人。同样,亚马逊对印度市场表现兴趣而Oneweb曾计划到2022年5月启动服务。
部空间(DoS)也在研究太空政策,一旦完成,将共享对频谱的需求点。同时,火车也将推出其在卫星通信服务的建议。
卫星通信是非常有用的在远程提供宽带服务,丘陵和难以接近的区域。也是唯一的媒介沟通时可以在灾区建立正常的通信会受到影响。的患病率低地球轨道(Leo)卫星,宽带200 mbps的速度可以达到300 mbps。
