Reliance Jio and SES joint venture, Orbit Connect has received the crucial landing rights and market access authorisation from IN-SPACe (Indian National Space Promotion & Authorisation Center).

IN-SPACe has granted the necessary approvals to Orbit Connect for offering commercial services to customers in India. Orbit Connect is looking to get the trial spectrum from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) in the Ka- and Ku-bands. This will enable Orbit Connect to conduct advanced trials on its nationwide satellite broadband network with key clients.

Orbit Connect hopes to receive the trial spectrum soon so that it can proceed. Orbit Connect has become the second company after Bharti-owned Eutelsat OneWeb to receive this approval from IN-SPACe.
