Equitable Access to Non-GSO
WRC-27 Agenda Item (AI) 1.6 is to consider technical and regulatory measures for Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) networks / systems in parts of Q/V band for equitable access. These studies are to consider both geostationary (GSO) networks and non-GSO systems to ensure that all countries have access to these orbits and frequency bands. This suggests use of a planning approach similar to that which was used in parts of C and Ku band for GSO networks. But is it feasible for large number of non-GSO systems to operate simultaneously at the same location? Are there constraints or limitations that would restrict the number that could operate or results in low spectrum efficiency? This Technical Note (TN) analyses the ability of medium Earth orbit (MEO) to provide access for multiple non-GSO networks.
