There are various licensing and regulatory requirements - different in each of the governmental jurisdictions - that are included in the footprint. Each VAR must obtain proper licensing and certification to sell the VSAT Systems service. In most countries, satellite landing rights have already been obtained by the satellite owners so the VAR only needs minimal licensing. It is the responsibility of the VAR to determine which regulations are applicable and fulfill them. VARs will be required to produce all documents of authorization and a letter from the appropriate government authority in their country of operation, stating that the VAR is fully authorized to provide the service before engaging in operations. If there are any licensing or regulatory costs or fees payable on behalf of either party, these costs shall be borne exclusively by the VAR.
The VAR will be required to certify to VSAT Systems that all VAR end user installations comply with FCC Regulations. The VAR will supply all supporting documentation requested by VSAT Systems. All FCC issues should be addressed to the VSAT Systems Compliance Officer. Call 800-268-8653 for more information.
