Information Session: Terrestrial Wireless Broadband Technologies and Use Cases

​​​​Time and place: Monday, 4 November 2024, 16h45 - 17h30, Geneva ​​(Popov, ITU)

Introduction
Terrestrial wireless broadband technologies are very important for developing countries and sustainable development goals. ITU-D has organized a one-day workshop on satellite technologies on 23 April 2024. After this workshop there was a consensus on the organization of an information session on “Terrestrial Wireless Broadband Technologies and Use Cases” during next ITU-D SG1 meeting for the developing countries. The information session will also be aligned with the outcome and objectives of ITU WTDC 2022 resolutions and other outcomes. The session and outcomes will also help to the report of ITU-D Question 1/1 and other relevant Questions.

Objective

This information session aims to inform administrations on new Wi-Fi and mobile terrestrial wireless broadband technologies and use cases. Wi-Fi and 5G are two key terrestrial high-speed wireless broadband technologies for digital transformation. Therefore, session will focus on new Wi-Fi technologies, 5G and their use cases with focus on developing countries. The session will provide information on global status of new Wi-Fi technologies and 5G (including number of subscribers and coverage information, number of devices, number of developing countries using technologies etc.). The session will also cover the use cases of these technologies and best practices. The goal is to increase the implementation of these new terrestrial wireless broadband technologies in developing countries and help to close the digital divide. The session will also provide information on the relevant outcomes of RA-23 and WRC-23 on spectrum and standardization aspects related to these terrestrial technologies.

Registration
The information session is open to all registered participants (on site and online) to ITU-D Study Group 1 Meetings of 4-8 November 2024 (online registration​)
