River Advisers

Today we're highlighting our Founder and Chairman Chris Stott 🛰💫   Chris has been working in the space and satellite sector for almost 30 years, starting out his journey in the industry as Bubba at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, before joining McDonnell Douglas in the Delta Launch Vehicle team to working up to the Director of International Commercialisation and Sales at Lockheed Martin Space Operations. While working in this role, Chris founded River Advisers, leaving Lockheed Martin to take on the position as President and CEO of River Advisers, spending the next twenty years building the company to become the largest commercial provider of satellite spectrum in the world. In 2020 Chris stepped down as CEO, remaining as a Chairman of the company. His expertise, hard work, and dedication have undeniably left a lasting legacy in River Advisers.

We were honored to be a part of Satellite Innovation 2024 earlier this month.   Katherine Gizinski moderated the opening session, where industry leaders explored the theme of 'Crafting Innovative Satellite Solutions for Customers'. Panelists Stewart Marsh from Cambridge Consultants, Curt Blake from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Dr. Clare Martin from Astroscale U.S, Brian Miske from KPMG, and Dr. Annalisa Weigel from Fairmont Consulting Group shared valuable insights on emerging technologies and customer-centered solutions.   Throughout the event, many discussions emphasised the critical role of spectrum access and regulatory constraints in advancing new technologies and services to market. In particular, the Direct-to-Device (D2D) session shed light on how supplemental coverage from space is being dealt with differently in each country. The significant impact of regulatory constraints demonstrates that spectrum truly is key.   Thank you to SatNews for having us and for hosting such a fantastic event!

As the satellite industry rapidly innovates, traditional regulatory frameworks often struggle to keep up.   Enter the Regulatory Sandbox – a flexible, controlled environment for testing and refining new services and technologies locally, before their commercial launch.   At River Advisers, we guide satellite innovators through Sandbox processes, helping them access markets faster under optimal conditions.   Find out more in our new blog: https://bit.ly/3zQCLn7

This week we’ve spotted this insightful piece in the Financial Times highlighting spectrum as the new battleground in space.   As the authors note, what at first looks to be an obscure international rule regarding ‘equivalent power flux density’ can actually have an enormous impact on commercial, competitive, and sovereign interests.   Here at River Advisers, we help clients understand these effects and set a course to support their strategic objectives.   You can read the full FT article below.
