Open Cosmos awarded Liechtenstein Ka‑band filings to underpin planned LEO broadband constellation

Open Cosmos has been granted Liechtenstein’s priority Ka‑band spectrum filings, previously held by Rivada, and says it will use the allocations to develop a LEO broadband constellation. The transfer gives Open Cosmos regulatory rights needed to plan capacity, services and commercial deployment.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Ka‑band spectrum filings are a prerequisite for LEO broadband deployment and commercialisation; transferring Liechtenstein’s priority filings to Open Cosmos gives the company the regulatory basis to plan capacity, customer offers and financing (LEO broadband context).

  • The award reflects a wider industry push to aggregate national spectrum and authorisations — a factor shaping competitive positioning in satellite and direct‑to‑device services (see recent moves on S‑band consolidation and Europe‑focused D2D/phone satellite plans).
