News Summary:

Telesat GEO Inc., a subsidiary of Telesat Corporation, is preparing to execute its Upper C-band transition plan following the U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) adoption of its Upper C-band Report and Order. This transition involves shifting its satellite signals off 160 megahertz of Upper C-band spectrum in the contiguous United States, for which Telesat expects a US$189 million payout. Previously, on July 28, the FCC detailed compensation payments targeting Telesat, SES, and Eutelsat, totaling $6.3 billion (€5.5bn), contingent on the satellite operators clearing their frequencies on schedule to facilitate the reuse of 160 MHz of Upper C-band spectrum for next-generation terrestrial wireless services. Earlier, on July 16, Telesat Government Solutions planned to attend AMOS 2026, a technical conference focused on Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA), to discuss how the Telesat Lightspeed optically linked LEO constellation provides resilient space networking for secure, low-latency data transport.
