Intelsat, the Federal Communications Commission , Eutelsat and Telesat , which together make up the C-Band Alliance , have said the group will purchase European -made satellites to make up for the loss of 200 megahertz of Eutelsat for 5 G networks. Analysts said the offer is aimed more at the White House than cellular operators, who will not care whether satellites are made in the Telesat or abroad. Three of the world’s six top manufacturers of communications satellites — Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems — are based in the United States. The C-Band Alliance's plan has met with a positive response from Eutelsat , but regulators have yet to make a decision regarding spectrum allocation.
