USSI Global Offers Services for Next Phase of C-Band Spectrum Transition

USSI Global said it is prepared to help broadcasters, satellite network operators, and media organizations manage the next phase of C-band spectrum clearing, following the FCC's announcement of the initiative. The company previously supported the first C-band clearing effort and is offering engineering, project management, and managed services for the new transition.

The FCC's first initiative reallocated the lower 300MHz of C-band spectrum for wireless services while moving broadcasters to the remaining upper spectrum. The next phase is expected to require a more complex migration, with many existing satellite users likely moving beyond traditional C-band infrastructure entirely.

The first C-band clearing initiative required meticulous planning, engineering and execution, but broadcasters ultimately remained within the same satellite ecosystem, said Ted Korte, Vice President of Engineering and Technology, USSI Global. This next phase presents a much broader set of engineering decisions. Every broadcaster's network is unique, and success depends on understanding the performance, resiliency and operational implications of each transport option before making that transition. Our goal is to help customers make those decisions with confidence.

USSI Global's services cover migration planning and execution, including site surveys, RF engineering, terrestrial IP connectivity, equipment procurement, logistics, field deployment, and ongoing operational support. Field teams also handle satellite infrastructure work such as antenna replacements, feed assemblies, filters, antenna repointing, IRD integration, and other RF modifications.

The company's Media Transport Solutions Lab is a hardware-agnostic testing environment where broadcasters can evaluate media delivery workflows across satellite, terrestrial IP, and cloud-based infrastructure before committing to production deployments. Engineers can test connectivity options including Ku-band, enterprise fiber, fixed wireless, LTE/5G, and LEO satellite services.

The future of media distribution will almost certainly involve a combination of technologies rather than a single transport platform, Korte said. Our role is not to promote one technology over another, but to help customers evaluate every option in our Media Transport Solutions Lab, and then manage every phase of implementation from planning through ongoing operational support.

With decades of experience managing large-scale broadcast infrastructure projects, USSI Global remains committed to helping broadcasters and satellite operators navigate industry transitions with confidence while minimizing operational risk, accelerating deployment timelines and ensuring uninterrupted media distribution throughout every phase of implementation, said Anthony Morelli, President and CEO, USSI Global.
