Review: How We Got to Where We Are WRC-97: Consider requirement for wideband telemetry in the

3-30 GHz part of the spectrum ETTC 99, Paris: Agreement to form organization to provide

forum for all telemetry spectrum users WRC-00: Defer consideration of 3-30 GHz proposal to WRC-

03 2002 to mid-2003: Intense efforts by ICTS members in

Europe, US, Australia to educate national spectrum authorities and gain support for WRC proposal

WRC-03: 3-30 GHz proposal officially placed on agenda for WRC-07

Where Are We?

We have an official WRC agenda item

We have a growing organization

We have recognition by many national authorities

We have an outstanding news letter

We have the elements of a plan

We have 3 years to get ready

What Lies Ahead?

Agreement among ourselves Resources to do our work Resistance from incumbents Gaining the support of our administrations Maintaining momentum Time (there are only 6 more meetings before WRC-07)

OUR CHALLENGES

7

What Lies Ahead?

Technology

- Identifying technology shortfalls and solutions

Requirements

- Identifying candidate bands, bandwidth, and sharing strategies

Education

- Developing convincing arguments and strategies for winning the support of our administrations

OUR WORK

8

Some Suggested Work Technology- Focus task of Working Group 1 to identify maximum frequency

bound imposed by technology limitations Requirements- Build on work of Dave Portigal to identify candidate bands- Build on work of Mike Ryan and Viv Crouch to identify current

telemetry spectrum usage- Use the data to identify incumbent usages that will require

sharing - Use the preceding work to develop sharing recommendations

Education- Develop briefing packages for use by members- Expand news letter to include educational articles and guest

articles. Distribute news letter to key spectrum authorities

Conclusions

We have demonstrated that we can work together effectively

We have much work to do in the next three years

We must continue to work together
