Expert Perspectives: How the Outcomes of WRC-23 will shape Future Radio Regulations

Training Focus
Join us as we unpack the results of the recent World Radio Conference held in Dubai! With the conference dust settling, this one-day session provides a promising opportunity to digest the agreed resolutions and outcomes in a clear and practical manner.

Our workshop will capture the essence of crucial agreements and the heightened intensity of discussions, revealing hot topics and contentious agenda items from the four week conference which took place in November/December 2023. This includes subjects like AI 1.2, addressing IMT spectrum identification across diverse bands, including the upper 6 GHz, and AI 1.5, which explored regulatory actions in the UHF band in Region 1.

We'll also delve into agenda item 10, aiming to lay the groundwork for discussions at the next WRC in 2027. Additionally, we'll consider any newly proposed urgent issues that may have been raised but not necessarily addressed during the conference, such as the emerging topic of satellite direct-to-handset communication.

These agenda items, among many others, will be examined to understand the implications for regulators adopting the newly agreed-upon regulations. We'll explore the practicalities and challenges of incorporating these regulations into national frequency plans, wider strategic developments, and the introduction of new technologies and services.
