Best regards. BR Registry Radiocommunication Bureau (BR) Geneva, 12 August 2022 Our Ref.: 01(DIR)O-2022-001386 Contact: Mario Maniewicz, Director, BR To Administrations of Member States Telephone: +41 22 730 5800 of the ITU, Radiocommunication Telefax: +41 22 730 5785 Sector Members, ITU-R Associates E-mail: [email protected] and ITU Academia Subject: Joint ITU-CITC Forum on “Connecting the World from the Skies”, 8-10 November 2022, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) / Hybrid event Dear Madam/Sir, We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Joint ITU-CITC Forum on “Connecting the World from the Skies”, which is co-organized by the ITU and the Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The forum will be held physically from 8 to 10 November 2022 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. CITC will provide online facilities for remote participation. This forum will extensively address airborne and space-borne communication networks from technology, space and science policy perspectives. It will be of interest to representatives from both the public and private sectors, and in particular radiocommunication and space industry innovators, researchers, ICT and technology stakeholders, as well as spectrum policy makers from national regulators and other relevant international bodies. Introduction The evolution of wireless connectivity is accelerating as a mesh of different wireless infrastructures are being deployed beyond the Earth’s surface. These include GSO and HEO satellites, MEO and LEO satellite constellations, as well as High Altitude Platforms (HAPs), Low Altitude Platforms (LAPs), and air-to-ground (A2G) networks. All of these are currently being developed, tested and in some cases, deployed in an operational capacity. Each of these types of wireless networks has a role to play in addressing connectivity gaps and use cases through integration with each other as well as with other terrestrial network components. These network components and infrastructures are simultaneously evolving and coming together to form new types of integrated wireless network topologies. In order to connect the unconnected in a sustainable manner worldwide, the impact of these technological evolutions on the outer space environment as well as the impact of space-borne and airborne infrastructure on scientific observations and gathering of celestial and atmospheric information needs to be managed under certain internationally agreed protocols: among other subjects, the forum will also discuss how open skies policies can be complemented by dark and quiet skies policies.
