This Cluster 4 event is intended to present the requirements and perspectives of the proponents behind WRC-27 agenda items 1.1 (Ku-band VSAT) and 1.2 (Q/V ESIM). We will explore the views of other spectrum stakeholders operating in the relevant frequency bands, and provide an update on the status of preparations at the UK, CEPT, and ITU-R levels.
WRC-2027 includes the following agenda items of particular relevance to the satellite industry and other incumbent spectrum users:
- 1.1 to consider the technical and operational conditions for the use of the frequency bands 47.2-50.2 GHz and 50.4-51.4 GHz (Earth-to-space), or parts thereof, by aeronautical and maritime earth stations in motion communicating with space stations in the fixed-satellite service and develop regulatory measures, as appropriate, to facilitate the use of the frequency bands 47.2-50.2 GHz and 50.4-51.4 GHz (Earth-to-space), or parts thereof, by aeronautical and maritime earth stations in motion communicating with geostationary space stations and non-geostationary space stations in the fixed-satellite service, in accordance with Resolution 176 (Rev.WRC-23);
- 1.2 to consider possible revisions of sharing conditions in the frequency band 13.75-14 GHz to allow the use of uplink fixed-satellite service earth stations with smaller antenna sizes, in accordance with Resolution 129 (WRC-23);
If you have an interest in speaking and presenting at this Cluster 4 event, please contact the Kumar Singarajah (Chair SPF Cluster 4) and Tales Gaspar (techUK / SPF).
A detailed agenda will be circulated later in May 2025.
