Brazil EFFICIENT USE OF THE 28 GHz BAND BY SATELLITE SYSTEMS (Item on the Agenda: 3.3) (Information document submitted by Inmarsat Global, Ltd., EchoStar Corp., Viasat Inc., SES Americom) CITEL, 1889 F ST.

Introduction Growing demand for satellite services has resulted in hundreds of satellites worth tens of billions of dollars already deployed, and continuing to be deployed, in Ka-band, including the 28 GHz (27.5-29.5 GHz) band for Earth-to-space transmission. It is critical to preserve and expand the satellite systems in the 28 GHz band and consider other mmWave bands for 5G terrestrial mobile services, such as 26 GHz, to allow for the growth of both 5G mobile networks and satellite services.1 This is especially clear when considering the demand for satellite services that already exists in the 28 GHz band, the critical role of satellites in the 5G ecosystem, the adverse impact of repurposing satellite spectrum, and the low likelihood of global harmonization of the 28 GHz band for 5G terrestrial mobile services. 2. Satellite operations in the 28 GHz band Over the past two decades, the satellite sector has launched a substantial number of Ka-band satellite systems, and has continued to develop even more efficient and powerful space and ground segments.
