Supporting Spectrum Coordination Across Borders and Orbits
We help operators, investors & governments navigate spectrum decisions
What We Offer
Spectrum is the scarcest asset in the space economy and the hardest to secure.
Space Frequency Advisors guides space ventures through their frequency filings and helps operators, investors and state administrations understand what they hold and what it’s worth.
Our Services
Filing and coordination strategy for new satellites and ground stations
Your place in the ITU’s queue is the foundation of everything your system will ever be allowed to do.
Spectrum due diligence for investors
In a growing share of space transactions, the asset being bought is not the spacecraft or the revenue but the spectrum position behind them.
Assitance with obtaining the right to sell service in a given country
An authorised satellite system still cannot lawfully serve a single customer without each country’s own permissions.
Advisory for state administrations
A national administration’s spectrum and orbital resources are a sovereign asset portfolio.
WRC-27 Exposure Assesment
In late 2027, the World Radiocommunication Conference in Shanghai will revise the treaty behind every satellite filing, licence and coordination agreement. Its outcomes are being shaped now, in study groups and regional preparatory meetings most companies never see. We map your actual holdings: bands, orbits, services, terminals against the live agenda items and the studies feeding them, and answer three questions: which proceedings could change the rules your business depends on, what each plausible outcome would do to your capacity, costs or market position, and where intervention through your administration or regional group is still possible while positions remain fluid. Delivered as a board-ready assessment with a monitored watchlist through to the conference itself, it turns a four-week treaty negotiation in Shanghai from a background risk into a managed one.
Establishing a Satellite Ground Station in the UK: A Practical Step-by-Step Guide
A ground station in the UK sits at the intersection of three regimes. Ofcom licenses the use of spectrum by transmitting earth stations, runs the frequency assignment and coordination that protects you and your neighbours, and administers the special regime for receive-only sites. The local planning authority governs whether you may build the antennas at all. Read more
Why Choose Us
Spectrum, and nothing else.
We practise one discipline: the regulation, coordination and value of radio spectrum for space systems. No adjacent practices, no generalist telecoms work, just the accumulated depth that comes from doing one difficult thing all day, every day.
Advised by the person who answers.
Because we are small by design, there is no leverage model and no hand-offs: the person you meet is the person who does the work, from first call to filed document.
