Unleashing the Power of 5G and Satellite | Meeting the Demands of a Connected World

DCC sends satellite spectrum plan back to TRAI

India’s Digital Communications Commission has sent most of TRAI’s satellite spectrum recommendations back for review, signaling a tougher stance on pricing, compliance, and market safeguards. TRAI recommended that satellite internet providers pay 4% of adjusted gross revenue (AGR) as spectrum usage charges, an additional Rs 500 per urban subscriber per year, and a minimum annual spectrum fee of Rs 3,500 per MHz when the AGR-linked payout falls short. At its September 16 meeting, the DCC—comprising senior DoT officials and representatives from finance, IT, and NITI Aayog—reviewed the satcom framework and withheld approval on most elements.

EchoStar pivots to satellite & NTN growth

EchoStar has reset its strategy after regulator-driven spectrum sales, trading long-cycle infrastructure bets for an asset-light, capital-rich posture focused on satcom growth. Federal Communications Commission scrutiny over spectrum utilization forced EchoStar to accelerate decisions it had hoped to phase over time. Complaints from rivals spurred investigations into whether the company was meeting buildout and use obligations. Even if EchoStar prevailed in court, the process risked tying up key licenses and stalling its direct-to-device (D2D) ambitions. The company opted to monetize holdings and remove uncertainty rather than fight a prolonged, value-destructive battle.

Private 5G Edge Drives Industrial AI ROI

Private 5G Edge Drives Industrial AI ROI
Fresh data from Nokia and GlobalData shows that private wireless and on-premise edge are delivering rapid ROI, unlocking AI at scale, and improving security and sustainability across industrial sites. Industrial operations need deterministic connectivity, real-time data, and strong security to automate safely and sustainably. Across 115 organizations, 87% of adopters reported a return on investment within one year after deploying private wireless with on-prem edge. Setup costs were lower than alternatives for 81% of respondents, and 86% cut ongoing costs. Critically, 94% deployed on-prem edge alongside private wireless, and 70% are already powering AI use cases.
