Eutelsat welcomed an FCC order setting the framework to transition the Upper C-band in the U.S., aiming to protect continuity of satellite services.
The order reallocates 160 MHz of Upper C-band spectrum for advanced wireless services, setting a process to move incumbent satellite operators over coming years.
Eutelsat expects $504 million of pre-tax incentive payments, conditional on meeting two transition deadlines, with payments expected in 2031.
The company also expects full reimbursement of transition-related costs under the FCC framework.
