20/05/2022: Approval of a frequency usage agreement

On 20 May 2022, the Office for Communications approved the transfer of usage rights to all frequencies covered by the provisional allocation of 8 January 2018, as amended and consolidated on 22 December 2021, for the entire duration of the allocation in favour of Rivada AG and Rivada Space Networks GmbH in order to enable these companies to operate the planned Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations and to offer satellite services via these satellite constellations on a permanent basis. In doing so, Rivada AG and Rivada Space Networks GmbH must fulfil all of the conditions, requirements and ancillary provisions specified in the allocation. In addition, the Office for Communications approves the frequency usage agreement between Trion Space AG, Rivada AG and Rivada Space Networks GmbH.
