Recently, telecom companies have opposed satellite companies' demand for separate earth station licenses. Telecom companies have opposed the demand of satellite companies to separate the license of satellite earth stations from the service license. Earth stations are a major essential telecommunications center on land. It connects satellite communication networks in space to terrestrial networks on Earth. Presently, the service providers have license to set up earth stations under the Unified Licensing Framework. In opposition to this, satellite companies (particularly those seeking to provide high-speed Internet) are demanding a separate licensing regime for satellite earth stations. About satellite based connectivity: It operates by sending and receiving broadband signals to a satellite in space. It does not use an underground copper/fiber network. Using geostationary, medium and low earth orbit satellites, satellite-based low-bit-rate connectivity is possible. Models of satellite based connectivity include: Hybrid (LPWAN + Satellite) or Indirect model: In this, each sensor and speed booster in the network can communicate with the satellite through an intermediate sync node i.e. Low Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) gateway. Direct to Satellite Model: In this the instruments can communicate directly with the satellite. It does not require any intermediate ground gateway for communication. Benefits: Ease of installation and wider coverage, better bandwidth capabilities, boosting Internet coverage in rural areas, enabling Internet of Things (IoT), etc. Source – The Hindu MORE CURRENT AFFAIRS
