At WRC-27, Round 2 on power limits to keep LEOs from interfering with GEOs: Legitimate issue or ‘biggest red herring’?

by Peter B. de Selding

WASHINGTON— The next meeting of the quadrennial World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), scheduled for Oct. 18 - Nov. 12, 2027 in Shanghai, is likely to revisit a subject that sharply divided LEO and GEO satellite operators when it was last examined, at the previous conference in 2023.

WRC-23 concluded with a decision to permit studies on whether the 30-year-old  limits on the power that non-geostationary satellites could emit when in the line of emissions of GEO-orbit satellites, which are stationed over the equator, should relaxed based on new . . .
