18 GHz Band Report
As directed by the 2023 National Spectrum Strategy (NSS), the frequency band 18.1-18.6 GHz (the “18 GHz band”) was identified for study for expanded federal and non-federal satellite operations, consistent with the United States position at the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU’s) 2023 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23). WRC-23 concluded on December 23, 2023, adding co-primary space-to-space allocations for the intersatellite service (ISS) in this band.
