#TAMPA, Fla. — A proposal to review #satellite transmission power limits risks curtailing investments and innovation in geostationary orbit (GEO) where space companies such as Viasat operate, an executive for the operator warned.
The move to review Equivalent Power Flux Density (EPFD) limits, affecting how powerful non-geostationary (NGSO) satellite signals should be to avoid disrupting #GEO spacecraft, is up for debate at the four-week WRC-23 conference that kicked off Nov. 20 in Dubai to update global spectrum rules.
If the proposal is adopted at WRC-23, the United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union would study #EPFD limits, potentially leading to proposed regulatory changes that would be up for debate at the next conference in 2027.
