Helping Regulators Monitor & Assure the Spectrum

Scalable & Tailored Solutions

Effective spectrum regulation is essential to protect satellite operations. With rapidly growing usage across the globe comes the potential for increased signal congestion, RF interference, and illegal operations. As nations expand their use of space, managing the spectrum has become more strategic and complex.

Kratos delivers systems to address the full spectrum of regulatory challenges. From advanced signal monitoring and interference detection to secure control and compliance management, Kratos’ integrated systems are built to each customer’s mission requirements—helping ensure regulatory adherence across any orbit or region.

Kratos Helps the Regulatory Authority of Oman Secure Spectrum

When Oman’s frequency spectrum was under threat, Oman’s TRA (Telecommunications Regulatory Authority) rose to the occasion by building one of the world’s most state-of-the-art Advanced Space Radio Monitoring Stations (ASRMS) in conjunction with Kratos. In this SatellitePro ME exclusive, Yousuf Al-Balushi, VP for Spectrum Management Affairs at Oman’s TRA, and Jérôme Duboe of Kratos, describe the milestones that led to the launch of the Middle East’s only ASRMS, which went into operation last year.
