Satellite Spectrum Allocations Heavily Used, Under Pressure: GSAO

Spectrum between 7 GHz and 24 GHz currently allocated to satellite service is heavily used, and demand for services is increasing, and there's little additional satellite spectrum allocation, the Global Satellite Operators Association said Tuesday. Added to that pressure is that a number of World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 agenda items "seek to bring additional applications to existing satellite-allocated spectrum," GSOA said. The satellite industry's continued use of the 7-24 GHz bands "will bring large-scale benefits to economies and society as a whole," it said.
