Anatel releases Starlink by Elon Musk, to keep another 7,500 satellites in orbit | The economy

The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) was approved on Tuesday, 8th and 8th, with Starlink’s request to launch another 7,500 satellites in the country’s orbit. The company of Elon Musk already has 4,400 satellites and now reach 11,900 units, strengthening its leadership in the fastest Internet section by satellites.

The decision of the Board of Directors of Anatel was made by a deliberate circuit vote, away from the subject of debate. At the general meeting of the board last week, the theme was placed on the agenda, but the analysis for the analysis of up to 120 days at the request of the reporter of this process, councilor Alexander Freer. However, Frying decided to disclose his vote in the debate in the agency’s virtual system.

Anatel approved unanimous. With this, the regulatory body is fully adapted to the Starlink election to change the right to use the already in use, extending the number of units in the orbit and the frequency ranges used for Internet signal transmission. The license change costs R $ 102,000 to the Musk Company and valid until 2027.

Anatel’s request to reject Starlink’s request due to orbital traffic jams and interference was approved by the default of other satellite internet companies in Brazil, a significant increase in the number of satellites, as well as the use of new frequencies.

In response to this intensity in the commercial race in the orbit, Anatel has issued a “regulatory alert”, which informs the community that it will update the current normal landmark due to the recognized risks. In other measures, the Telecommunication Infrastructure Committee and Anatele’s Spectrum and Orbit Committee have urgently promote technical discussions and to support the control effect of the control effect of the control of international guidelines, the ability of the spectrum, network security, national sovereignty and competitive promotion.

“Although we unanimously granted the right to the authority of the number of satellites and the authority of the frequency range, as well as the update of affiliated networks, the limitations of the current regulation have made me clear,” Alexandre Frey said in a statement that the case has unanimously granted the right of satellite exploration. ”
