The Co-existence Of Non-geostationary (ngso) Constellations And Geostationary (gso) Satellites Is Controlled Through The Itu-r Radio Regulations. These Rules Effectively Ensure That Existing Geostationary Systems Are Protected From Harmful Interference Generated By Newer Ngso Systems. Several Actors Have Argued That The Current Approach No Longer Reflects Either The State Of Technology Or Theactual Utilization Of Radio Spectrum Within The Satellite Sector, And That The Deployment And Current Performance Of Ngso Systems Ishence Being Constrained By Rules Which Are Now Out Of Date. One Outcome From Wrc-23 Was An Agreement That The Applicable Rules Governing Co-existence Should Be Reviewed, And That The Outcome Be Considered During The Next Wrc In 2027. The Activity Objective Is Therefore To Generate An Impartial Understanding Of The Limitations Imposed By The Current Rules, Or By Any Proposals To Adapt The Current Regulations, As Well As Quantify The Achievable Improvements Should A Change In Regulatory Approach Be Adopted. The Goal Beingto Help The Sector Advocate For Regulations That Support The Emergence Of New Opportunities As Well As The Protection Of Existing Services And Investments.
