Welcome to Satellite Regulation Training!
The global satellite landscape is being transformed by LEO constellations. This course provides a structured introduction to satellite licensing and regulation, covering orbit types, the FCC's shift from Part 25 to Part 100 frameworks, spectrum management in the constellation era, and market access decisions for African regulators. It draws on the FCC satellite licensing reform process, ITU Radio Regulations, and real-world cases from constellation operators including Starlink and OneWeb.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Distinguish between GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite systems and explain their regulatory implications in the constellation era
- Explain the structure and rationale of satellite licensing frameworks, including the transition from prescriptive to performance-based standards
- Analyse spectrum coordination challenges and evaluate the ITU obligations national regulators must implement
- Apply a satellite licensing decision framework to evaluate market access applications in an African regulatory context
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for policymakers, regulators, and legal counsel responsible for telecommunications licensing, spectrum management, and satellite market access. It is highly beneficial for individuals who are:
- Working in national regulatory authorities responsible for satellite licensing and spectrum allocation
- Government officials and ministry staff working on connectivity strategy and satellite broadband policy for underserved areas
- Legal and policy advisors involved in satellite operator market access proceedings or ITU coordination processes
