RKF advocates for the acquisition and protection of spectrum on behalf of clients both corporate and governmental around the world. These efforts occur at the national, regional, and global levels, culminating in the World Radio Conference (WRC), where the international rules for spectrum use are set.
RKF works with the national regulatory agencies of countries around the world.
RKF represents clients at major regional and sub-regional groups.
RKF has participated in the WRC since its inception. Currently, we are members of delegations representing the United States, and Papua New Guinea. In addition to these national governments, we also represent several corporate clients directly at the WRC.
RKF performs due diligence services on behalf of banks, and investors, and companies looking to raise capital. Typical areas of diligence include the following cases.
RKF helps businesses acquire, evaluate, and protect their patents and other intellectual property (IP). We apply our expertise to cases involving patents, trademarks, copyright, trade secrets, and licensing.
RKF helps businesses identify, analyze, and implement promising technologies and engineering solutions they are investigating or developing. We help our clients identify the necessary steps required to translate their designs into successful products.
RKF helps businesses establish whether our client’s financials – business plans, Confidentiality Information Memorandum (CIM), or otherwise – are accurate or not.
RKF conducts studies on technical and regulatory aspects of telecommunications networks and systems.
RKF performs satellite and radio communications network spectrum sharing and interference analyses and studies, including the production of appropriate modeling software and tools. This includes advanced analyses among Geostationary, Non-Geostationary satellites, High Altitude Platforms (HAPS), and terrestrial systems. For example, on behalf of a coalition of notable technology and communications companies, RKF has performed a multi-year study on Frequency Sharing for Radio Local Area Networks in the 6 GHz Band.
RKF supports its clients by performing analysis & studies in order to identify of orbital slots and orbits for new satellite networks. In addition, RKF prepares the associated regulatory documentation for filing of those satellite networks under ITU Radio Regulations Articles 9 and 11 and under official procedures contained in Appendix 30, 30A, and 30B. The procedures RKF performs include, but are not limited to, the preparation of Advance Publication, Coordination Request, Notification and Due Diligence filings.
RKF supports its clients in all aspects of frequency and orbit coordination of satellite networks, under ITU Radio Regulations Articles 9 and 11 and under Appendix 30, 30A, and 30B procedures. RKF handles the preparation and execution of technical analyses and strategies for frequency coordination meetings and provides negotiation and client support during those meetings. Post-filing, RKF manages the ongoing protection of filed satellite slot assets through regular review and processing of publications in the ITU’s International Frequency Information Circular.
