A Satellite Earth Station is a type of radio equipment used to communicate with a space station (satellite) from the Earth's surface. They are typically used to provide telephony, data, backhaul, broadcast feeder links and two-way business/consume broadband or corporate type communications.
GNSS repeater equipment consists of an external antenna for the reception of the GNSS signal; an amplifier (with a restricted maximum gain), connected via cabling to a second antenna inside a building. This re-radiates the GNSS signals inside a building allowing, within a limited distance of that transmit antenna, the continued operation of GNSS receivers.
Please note our ongoing work on our mobile data strategy.
Our strategy considers the challenges that rapidly growing demand for mobile data services could raise and what this may imply for Ofcom's work over the coming years. In particular, we identify and prioritise a number of spectrum bands where we are undertaking further work regarding their potential future availability for mobile data use, whilst recognising the many other competing demands for spectrum. Our statement was published in May 2014.
We updated our strategy in June 2016 to take into account new developments such as developments in 5G technology.
Ym mis Hydref 2017, fe wnaethom gadarnhau sut rydym yn bwriadu ymestyn mynediad sbectrwm ar gyfer gwasanaethau symudol yn y dyfodol yn y band 3.6GHz i 3.8GHz er mwyn galluogi dinasyddion a defnyddwyr ledled y DU i elwa ar wasanaethau symudol yn y dyfodol yn cynnwys 5G.
Fe wnaethom felly ddechrau’r broses statudol i gynnig:
Mae’r ddogfen hon yn rhoi’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am pryd rydym yn disgwyl i’r sbectrwm yn y band 3.6GHz to 3.8GHz fod ar gael (PDF, 172.3 KB), yn dilyn y trafodaethau rydym wedi’u cynnal fel rhan o'r broses honno.
Due to growing interest in the use of non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite networks we will be extending a number of existing satellite earth station licence products to permit operation with NGSO satellites.
This document sets out the changes Ofcom will make to the following satellite earth station licence products:
The changes will enable consumers and citizens in the UK, and on UK registered ships and aircraft, to benefit from broadband services provided by NGSO satellite networks. These networks are able to offer lower latency services than GSO satellite networks due to their lower orbit.
