scope:

In order to address issues raised by previous World Radiocommunication Conferences and Radiocommunication Assemblies, this Recommendation provides guidelines on global broadband Internet access by fixed-satellite service systems. A first Annex covers a number of general issues on the consideration of suitable frequency bands and a general description of broadband satellite architecture. A second Annex describes both existing and future satellite systems to provide global broadband access directly to small earth station antenna, and includes descriptions of systems characteristics and satellite capacities. It should be noted that fixed-satellite service comprises both GSO and non-GSO networks and systems and are thus both in the scope of this Recommendation.
