OpSat is a satellite constellation operated by Zephyr Aerospace Systems, consisting of three communications satellites in geosynchronous orbit, providing global radio, telephone, television and internet services. The constellation is operating since 1.I 1719 AN.

Service

In order to eliminate unauthorized usage of its services, the OpSat system requires a user terminal consisting of a satellite dish and data module. Capable of sending and receiving signal, the module requires a valid subscription card, serving as a personal identifier. Once the card is inserted, it grants the usage of subscribed services. The regulations on obtainment of OpSat user terminal and subscription card, as well as restriction of content vary by country.

The following is a list of known regulations regarding OpSat by country (as of 1719):
