UK SPF Cluster 4: Key FSS Topics for WRC-2027 (AI 1.1 & 1.2)

This Cluster 4 event is intended to present the requirements and perspectives of the proponents behind WRC-27 agenda items 1.1 (Q/V ESIM) and 1.2 (Ku-band VSAT). 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).
