by Dianne Northfield

Several international and national bodies are working to provide protected aviation spectrum for use by safety critical applications. Read more...

An introduction to low- to medium-altitude unmanned aircraft systems
Aug 22, 2022
by Dianne Northfield

Flying at very low-altitude, small drone operations have generally relied on the use of unlicensed, unprotected spectrum resources. This framework is neither appropriate nor sustainable for the burgeoning low- to medium-altitude Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) sector. In 2022, two key barriers to UAS take-off remain – the feasibility of UAS… Read more...

An introduction to High-Altitude Platform Station systems
Aug 15, 2022
by Dianne Northfield

Despite the demise of Loon's balloons in January 2021, industry and government support for the development of High-Altitude Platform Stations, or HAPS, continues. There is broad interest in this connectivity solution; a new layer or architecture – between terrestrial and satellite networks – to deliver commercial communications services, particularly in… Read more...

Spectrum for High-Altitude Platform Stations
Aug 15, 2022
by Dianne Northfield

The International Telecommunications Union explicitly recognises High-Altitude Platform Stations, or HAPS, as an application of a service and has progressively identified a range of spectrum bands for use by HAPS in the fixed service and by HIBS in the mobile service. WRC-23 is particularly focused on examining new spectrum resources… Read more...

Traffic and interference management in the stratosphere
Aug 15, 2022
by Dianne Northfield

High-Altitude Platform Station, or HAPS, systems represent a new layer – between terrestrial and satellite networks – to deliver commercial connectivity solutions. Management systems for the coexistence of multiple different platforms in the stratosphere is making very slow progress and in the absence of a regulatory framework, operation of HAPS… Read more...

Dossiers
Jan 09, 2020
by PolicyTracker

The Dossiers section of our Research Service is a guide to current high-profile policy debates. It provides an overview of each subject, tracing back its roots, examining the different sectoral perspectives and providing Trackers to assess progress. Our current Dossiers are: Spectrum auctions WRC-23 The changing dynamics of the mobile/satellite… Read more...
