Extension of the suspension period to 3 years
Reduce coordination arc (C and Ku bands)
Better information of movements of spacecrafts

11. 22 GHz Band
Advanced digital satellite broadcasting applications (UHDTV, 3DTV, VIS, LSDI, EHRI)
WRC12 agreed
Priori planning not necessary
Equitable access to be observed under Article 44 of ITU Convention
Improved regulatory procedures
New FSS allocation with PFD limits

12. Impact on spectrum management from SDR, CRS, SRD
WRC12 decided
Not to modify RR
The needs of these systems to be addressed in ITU-R Study Groups

13. Safety issues

14. Safety and security of services
Aeronautical
Maritime
Radiolocation

15. Aeronautical Services
Spectrum and regulatory actions for safe operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in non-segregated airspace used by civil aviation
WRC-12 agreed
Worldwide allocation in 5 GHz Band for terrestrial and satellite components

16. Aeronautical Services (2)
The use of L-Band ( GHz) by AMSS (in route)
Concern that current coordination procedure not transparent and effective
WRC-12 agreed
Detailed coordination meeting procedure
Participation of ITU-BR

17. Maritime Services
To enhance maritime safety systems for ships and ports
WRC-12 adopted
Satellite detection of AIS onboard ships
Worldwide allocations around and 162 MHz for search and rescue
Worldwide allocation in 500 kHz range for broadcast of safety information

18. Radiolocation Services
New applications using radars for surveillance, tracking and maneuvering spacecraft in VHF Band
WRC-12 decided
Additional primary allocation in MHz subject to regulatory restrictions of 12 coiuntries

19. Environment issues

20. Environment
Growing importance of the use of ICT in the combat of climate change in the prediction and relief of natural disasters.

21. Oceanographic Radars 3 to 50 MHz Gather data to WRC-12 agreed
mitigate the effect of disasters
Understand climate change
Safe maritime travel
WRC-12 agreed
World wide primary and secondary allocations

22. Lightning Detection
Introduction of automated arrival time difference (ATD)
Able to detect lightning stroke at thousands of Km from stoke location
WRC-12 decided
New primary allocation at 8.3 and 11.3 kHz

23. Meteorological Satellites (MetSat)
GHz
New generation MetSats
Higher data rates and bandwidth
WRC-12 decided
Extension current allocation to 7.9GHz

24. Science issues

25. Space Research Missions
Robotic and other missions in transit to or near the Moon
GHz (downlink)
Data retrieval
Voice/video communication
WRC-12 agreed
New allocation GHz under condition to protect FS and MS in neighbouring countries

26. SRS Earth Stations 37-38 GHz
Support manned near Earth and deep space missions
WRC-12 decided
To exclude aeronautical mobile service from this band to protect these space applications

27. Navigation and mobile satellites

28. Radiodetermination Satellite Service (RDSS)
MHz
Interest to provide global services
Harmonized regulatory framework
New allocation
WRC-12 decided to harmonize 2.5GHz band
New primary allocation for Region 1
Upgrade RDSS allocation in the same band in Region 3.

29. Mobile Satellite Service (MSS)
Increased use for telephony and data applications
Development constrained due to lack of spectrum
Difficult to find additional allocation in 4-16 GHz
WRC-15 Agenda Item looking at GHz
