What it does

The actor crawls FCC IBFS filing category pages and fetches individual filing detail pages, returning structured records for each filing. It covers:

SAT filings — Space station applications: launch-and-operate (LOA), modifications (MOD), special temporary authority (STA), amended filings (AMD), and transfer of control
SES filings — Earth station applications: licenses (LIC), modifications (MOD), renewals (RWL), registrations (REG), and special temporary authority (STA)

Each record includes the applicant name, filing/action dates, status, satellite service type, frequency bands, attached document URLs, and public notice dates.

Use cases

Competitive intelligence — Track competitor satellite operator filings: Starlink, Kuiper, OneWeb, Viasat, SES, Intelsat, and hundreds more
Spectrum law — Monitor NGSO market access requests, frequency coordination filings, and FCC action on pending applications
M&A diligence — Enumerate a company's FCC spectrum licenses and pending modifications
RF coordination — Build earth-station databases for interference analysis and frequency coordination
Regulatory monitoring — Set up incremental runs with date filters to receive alerts on new and modified IBFS filings

Data source

All data is sourced from fcc.report, a free public mirror of the FCC International Bureau Filing System. The original data is published by the FCC under public domain terms.
