Countries in the region were amongst the first to assign key mid-band spectrum for 5G, and since then 5G has seen robust growth in the region, with countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE leading the way both in terms of spectrum availability for 5G and overall network growth and coverage. This session will look at the drivers that have enabled this growth, and more broadly at how the progress that has been seen fits with the initial targets that were set. With other countries in the region at an earlier stage in their 5G journey and preparing their strategy to make spectrum available and start to rollout networks, it will look at the lessons that can be taken from rollout experiences in the region so far, and at how all countries in the region can come together to deliver a coordinated strategy for the continued growth and development of 5G technologies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where are we with 5G rollout across the region?

important decisions taken on the future of key frequencies in the range, the environment will likely change further over the next few years. Following this, the spectrum across most frequencies in the range will have then been assigned. This session will explore the broad ecosystem that has emerged across these mid-range bands (1GHz \u2013 6GHz) and discuss the balance that is being seen in terms of the amount of spectrum that is available to different technologies and users. It will look at the different licensing and access models that are being used in the region across different bands, and at the spectrum that is being made available on a licenced, unlicenced and shared basis. Taking all this into account, it will explore the extent to which the value of these key bands has been maximised, and the best way forward to ensure the best possible outcome for consumers and businesses across the region.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To what extent do the users across mid-bands have sufficient spectrum to meet current needs and those that may emerge in the future?<\/li>\n<li>Is the balance in mid-band frequencies right with regard to spectrum that is available on a licenced, unlicenced and shared basis; and the overall availability of mid-band spectrum to mobile, satellite, Wi-Fi and other key users?<\/li>\n<li>How can regulators ensure a \u2018future-proof\u2019 approach to mid-band frequencies, which ensures the best use of this key spectrum in the short, medium, and long-term?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent are we seeing a coordinated approach to mid-band frequencies across the regions, and in which areas are there differences?<\/li>\n<li>How efficiently is the spectrum across the mid-band frequencies being used and what usage is being seen of the spectrum that is allocated?

This rapid evolution is bringing with it a swathe of exciting new opportunities, but also a number of regulatory challenges, particularly in the area of connectivity. This session will look at the current regulatory regime that governs access to spectrum for GSOs and NGSOs, and at the work that is being done to ensure that this is still appropriate given the way that the sector is evolving. It will explore the measures that are in place to ensure the protection of spectrum rights, and the licensing and sharing rules that govern access to spectrum for satellite services. Looking at the possibilities offered by direct satellite-to-device connectivity and some of the other exciting innovations that are emerging in the sector, it will discuss the best way forward to ensure the satellite sector can continue to thrive as we move towards 6G.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What exciting new innovations are seen within the satellite sector, and how can it be ensured that a regulatory framework provided encourages new entrants and competition whilst also protecting the rights of incumbent users?<\/li>\n<li>How is the space and satellite sector in the Arab region specifically evolving and emerging, and what role can member states play globally in developing a global framework to enable satellite connectivity to thrive?<\/li>\n<li>What licensing models and rules currently guide access to spectrum for satellite systems and how can it be ensured that sufficient spectrum is available for all users?<\/li>\n<li>With the current framework designed for GSO satellite networks, are they still appropriate for more complex NGSO systems?

Whilst initial research around 6G was focussed on the possibilities of Sub-THz and THz frequencies, more recently, attention has shifted more towards 7GHz \u2013 24GHz \u2018centimetric\u2019 frequencies, which are now being described by some as the \u2018essential\u2019 6G range. Spectrum in this centimetric range is, however, already intensively used by many well-established services, including satellite, commercial radar, fixed links services and more, and opening the band for IMT use would not be simple. This session will look at the potential that this range offers for 6G and the challenges that would need to be overcome in order to deliver this. More broadly, it will examine other methods for delivering the required spectrum, and the role that refarming and increased spectrum sharing and flexibility could play. Ultimately, it will look at the work that needs to be done to build a spectrum roadmap that delivers the connectivity for Arab countries to lead the way when it comes to 6G.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much spectrum is it predicted will be initially needed for the rollout of 6G networks?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent can the refarming of existing bands and the introduction of more flexible and efficient spectrum management models help to meet these needs?<\/li>\n<li>What usage is currently seen across the 7GHz \u2013 24GHz range in the MENA region, and to what extent could any of these frequencies provide the potential to help meet the early connectivity requirements of 6G?<\/li>\n<li>Have any specific bands within this 7GHz \u2013 24GHz range been identified by the IMT community as offering the best potential to find the contiguous blocks of spectrum that will be required for 6G? If not, then which are the most likely candidates?<\/li>\n<li>What would be the impact of introducing 6G into these frequencies on incumbent users in the bands? How could any disruption be minimised and how could the cost of any possible relocation of services that is required be met?<\/li>\n<li>How can MENA countries work together to ensure the delivery of a spectrum roadmap and strategy that allows the region to lead the way globally in the development and rollout of 6G?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n

Countries in the region were amongst the first to assign key mid-band spectrum for 5G, and since then 5G has seen robust growth in the region, with countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE leading the way both in terms of spectrum availability for 5G and overall network growth and coverage. This session will look at the drivers that have enabled this growth, and more broadly at how the progress that has been seen fits with the initial targets that were set. With other countries in the region at an earlier stage in their 5G journey and preparing their strategy to make spectrum available and start to rollout networks, it will look at the lessons that can be taken from rollout experiences in the region so far, and at how all countries in the region can come together to deliver a coordinated strategy for the continued growth and development of 5G technologies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where are we with 5G rollout across the region?

with WRC-23 seeing more important decisions taken on the future of key frequencies in the range, the environment will likely change further over the next few years. Following this, the spectrum across most frequencies in the range will have then been assigned. This session will explore the broad ecosystem that has emerged across these mid-range bands (1GHz \u2013 6GHz) and discuss the balance that is being seen in terms of the amount of spectrum that is available to different technologies and users.

This rapid evolution is bringing with it a swathe of exciting new opportunities, but also a number of regulatory challenges, particularly in the area of connectivity. This session will look at the current regulatory regime that governs access to spectrum for GSOs and NGSOs, and at the work that is being done to ensure that this is still appropriate given the way that the sector is evolving. It will explore the measures that are in place to ensure the protection of spectrum rights, and the licensing and sharing rules that govern access to spectrum for satellite services. Looking at the possibilities offered by direct satellite-to-device connectivity and some of the other exciting innovations that are emerging in the sector, it will discuss the best way forward to ensure the satellite sector can continue to thrive as we move towards 6G.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What exciting new innovations are seen within the satellite sector, and how can it be ensured that a regulatory framework provided encourages new entrants and competition whilst also protecting the rights of incumbent users?<\/li>\n<li>How is the space and satellite sector in the Arab region specifically evolving and emerging, and what role can member states play globally in developing a global framework to enable satellite connectivity to thrive?<\/li>\n<li>What licensing models and rules currently guide access to spectrum for satellite systems and how can it be ensured that sufficient spectrum is available for all users?<\/li>\n<li>With the current framework designed for GSO satellite networks, are they still appropriate for more complex NGSO systems? Is a first come, first served (FCFS) licensing procedure still appropriate?<\/li>\n<li>What role can the ITU play in providing a coordinated framework and more harmonised frequencies for current and future satellite systems?<\/li>\n<li>What role are NTNs going to play as part of future wireless networks? Are we moving towards a more collaborative future and how could this impact spectrum strategies and business models?<\/li>\n<li>What potential is offered by the new hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks and \u2018direct to device\u2019 satellite connectivity services that are being seen?<\/li>\n<li>How can the spectrum requirements of \u2018direct to device\u2019 connectivity best be met?<\/li>\n<li>What are the pros and cons of using mobile or satellite spectrum bands respectively? What are the technical and regulatory challenges associated with each approach?<\/li>\n<li>What role can satellite systems play in both 5G-advanced and 6G wireless ecosystems going forward?

Whilst initial research around 6G was focussed on the possibilities of Sub-THz and THz frequencies, more recently, attention has shifted more towards 7GHz \u2013 24GHz \u2018centimetric\u2019 frequencies, which are now being described by some as the \u2018essential\u2019 6G range. Spectrum in this centimetric range is, however, already intensively used by many well-established services, including satellite, commercial radar, fixed links services and more, and opening the band for IMT use would not be simple. This session will look at the potential that this range offers for 6G and the challenges that would need to be overcome in order to deliver this. More broadly, it will examine other methods for delivering the required spectrum, and the role that refarming and increased spectrum sharing and flexibility could play. Ultimately, it will look at the work that needs to be done to build a spectrum roadmap that delivers the connectivity for Arab countries to lead the way when it comes to 6G.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much spectrum is it predicted will be initially needed for the rollout of 6G networks?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent can the refarming of existing bands and the introduction of more flexible and efficient spectrum management models help to meet these needs?<\/li>\n<li>What usage is currently seen across the 7GHz \u2013 24GHz range in the MENA region, and to what extent could any of these frequencies provide the potential to help meet the early connectivity requirements of 6G?<\/li>\n<li>Have any specific bands within this 7GHz \u2013 24GHz range been identified by the IMT community as offering the best potential to find the contiguous blocks of spectrum that will be required for 6G? If not, then which are the most likely candidates?<\/li>\n<li>What would be the impact of introducing 6G into these frequencies on incumbent users in the bands? How could any disruption be minimised and how could the cost of any possible relocation of services that is required be met?<\/li>\n<li>How can MENA countries work together to ensure the delivery of a spectrum roadmap and strategy that allows the region to lead the way globally in the development and rollout of 6G?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n
