RIDE! and TelePIX signed a first contract for radio frequency registration support

December 7th 2022

RIDE! is pleased to count among its customers TelePIX, a South Korean company based in Seoul. The South Korean company founded in 2019 aims to launch a constellation of satellites from 2025 to make observations of the Earth. To validate its technological assets, the flight of a first module (IOD) is planned for 2024.

It is in this context that RIDE! comes up. The radio frequency is a resource as rare as precious that’s why its registration and its securitisation is mandatory for any satellite operator. However, the steps can be laborious. RIDE! aims to provide a simple and smooth process on all the steps to be taken to determine the ideal radio frequencies for the upcoming TelePIX’s satellite.

Indeed, to communicate each satellite must be able to use radio frequencies. To do so, all space radio emissions must be declared and registered with the ITU. This declaration allows proper use of the radio spectrum and avoids any communication interference problems that could potentially create devastating problems once the satellite is in orbit.

For TelePIX, this is time saved and an additional chance to focus on the most valuable tasks for the upcoming launch.

This announcement follows the presentation by RIDE! of a consolidated offer of 4 services for satellite operators: Launch call for tender & procurement, Radio Frequency Registrationsupport, Launch Environment Compliance & Test, and Launch Integration & Interface.

Valentin BENOIT, CEO & Co-Founder of RIDE! "We are delighted to sign this contract with TelePIX and we thank them for their growing confidence since we met. This partnership strengthens our international presence and especially on South Korean territory.

Moreover, the signature of this contract with TelePIX is proof that the decisions taken these last months have been the right ones: the registration of radio frequencies is a very interesting service for the New Space companies which struggle to see clearly in the international regulatory landscape. We have developed this experience when operators have repeatedly asked us for this service.”

Seongick CHO, CEO & Co-Founder of TelePIX “It is a great pleasure for us to work with RIDE! We believe RIDE! is an excellent partner to cooperate with in the field of launch service and radio frequency registration for satellites. In the New Space era, competition between companies is getting intensive and it is important to develop a strong network for cooperation. TelePIX is developing several important space missions with our state-of-the-art EO/IR payloads, and we hope to make a global network for cooperation based on our capability in space missions. We have also been devoting ourselves to develop core technologies for future space missions and satellite constellations operations, and RIDE! and TelePIX have been discussing ways of effectively enhancing value of both companies. We look forward to seeing more cooperation cases in the space sector, between companies, institutes, and nations.”
