Pursuant to Article 8 of the Royal Decree of 30 May 2026 on satellite services, operators providing satellite networks must submit an additional notification.
The additional notification requirement applies only to satellite operators, not to companies that provide satellite services using a satellite operator’s network. Such companies must, however, ensure that the satellite operator has completed the additional notification.
Pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 1, of the Royal Decree of 30 May 2026, the additional notification must include the following:
- frequency bands used for the provision of satellite networks or satellite services and the direction of transmission;
- designation of the satellite network or satellite system at the ITU;
- reference of the publications relating to the satellite network or satellite system at the ITU.
The additional notification should take the form of the table below.
