Battle of the Bands: What’s at stake for space at WRC 2023 Webinar

The next global fight for spectrum gets underway Nov. 20 when the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) convenes its quadrennial World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) in Dubai for a four-week battle over frequency bands vital to all manner of wireless communications.

While the satellite industry could gain access to more radio waves, vital frequencies could also be taken away to support 5G and other bandwidth-hungry terrestrial wireless services.

This webinar will discuss the key issues for space as the ITU, the spectrum enforcement arm of the United Nations, prepares to set ground rules for existing and future telecoms services, including:

The main opportunities and threats for the space industry

How new rules could alter the balance between geostationary and non-geostationary operators

Implications for the emerging direct-to-device market

The ITU’s space sustainability role

A look ahead to WRC 2027

Join SpaceNews and a panel of experts for a timely virtual discussion Nov. 7 at 11 a.m. Eastern as we explore these issues and more — register for the webinar today!
