Kingdom Enhances Its Future Direction at End of WRC-23

The Kingdom concluded its participation in the World Radio communication Conference (WRC-23) for the year 2023.

It hosted by the United Arab Emirates over a four-week period as part of the World Radio communication Conference (WRC-23) agenda, according to Saudi Press Agency.

Key Achievements of Kingdom’s Participation

 Initially, Engineer Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Abdulqader, Deputy President of the World Radio communication Conference (WRC-23) and representative of the Kingdom, highlighted the Kingdom’s successful participation in WRC-23.

Furthermore, the Kingdom achieved its goals of serving humanity, bridging the digital divide. It also  enhances space sustainability at WRC-23.

Significantly, key outcomes from the conference  include additional frequencies for 5th and 6th generation systems, unlicensed Wi-Fi, and 5G HAPS.

Moreover, the Kingdom had conducted technical trials for these last year as part of its commitment to WRC-23.

Collaboration with International Community at WRC-23

Subsequently, the Kingdom collaborated internationally at the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23) to enable space wireless services. This includes providing extra frequency bands for Internet on aircraft and ships, thereby improving traveler experiences, a direct result of the discussions at WRC-23. Additionally, they set international rules for registering earth-non-stationary satellites at WRC-23. Consequently, this supports orbital resource sustainability.

Future Topics and Studies Set by WRC-23

Lastly, the World Radio communication Conference (WRC-23) outlined future studies up to 2031. These cover additional frequency bands (4, 7, 8, 15 GHz, terahertz range) for 5th and 6th generation systems.

Also, studies include reusing mobile bands via satellites for direct-to-device tech, enhancing global NTN access, as discussed at WRC-23.

Another focus, set by the conference is reviewing standards for earth-non-stationary satellite networks. Hence, these efforts aim to broaden broadband networks, reduce costs, and ensure space sustainability.

They also plan to explore new wireless bands for WPT, supporting large-scale sustainability projects in the Kingdom, a key topic of focus at WRC-23.

Conference Overview

It is noted that the conference, held every four years, reviews the International Radio Regulations issued by the International Telecommunication Union, a United Nations agency.
