Agenda Item: 4.4 GSRC – Resolution GSC-10/xBroadband Services in Rural and Remote Areas ISACC
Broadband Services • There is an increasing demand for broadband services in rural and remote communities worldwide. • Technology and cost remain important barriers to the delivery of such services. • Frequency bands that are not harmonized internationally are also barriers.
Broadband Services • Internationally harmonized frequency bands would encourage the development of broadband products for use in rural and remote areas. • Harmonized standards development and equipment certification are key to reducing the cost barrier. • Harmonized standards that allow for hybrid fixed and mobile systems for seamless BWA coverage may help in the development of telecommunications systems in rural and remote communities.
