Bharti-backed OneWeb gets licence to offer VSAT-backhaul to telcos
- Friday | 6th August, 2021
Bharti Global-backed OneWeb has received its first licence from India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT), allowing it to offer satellite-based backhaul through VSAT to telecom operators. OneWeb, however, will need satellite bandwidth landing rights from the Department of Space (DoS), which is likely by month-end. This happens at a time when Indian telecom operators are locking horns with satellite companies over the allocation of spectrum in the 28 GHz band for satellite communications services. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, on the other hand, plans to offer Starlink satellite communication services to retail customers. According to its website, SpaceX has already listed several Indian locations where services will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
