CST conducted a comprehensive review of the current regulations to support NTN in order to accelerate their adoption in the Kingdom and attract global investments. This review has resulted in a proposal to establish three new regulations which were released for public consultations:
Provisioning of Operation Services for NTN permit
Provisioning of Telecommunications Services over NTN permit
Registration of Foreign Satellite Systems
After considering the responses provided on the public consultation, CST has published the Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) regulations on which aim to provide communication services using cutting-edge wireless technologies and enable the wide spread of NTN technologies by following the principle of "technology-neutral“. These regulations consist of three regulatory documents:
Regulation for Registration of Telecommunication Space Stations
Regulations for Provisioning of Telecommunication Services Over Non-terrestrial Networks (NTN)
Regulations for Provisioning of Operation Services of Non terrestrial Networks (NTN)
