“Serbia has secured a geostationary orbital position and the corresponding frequency resource, marking an achievement of exceptional importance, as announced by RATEL.
“The Serbian satellite network has been registered in the FSS (Fixed Satellite Service) Plan, Appendix 30B, and BSS (Broadcast Satellite Service) Plan (Appendix 30/30A), representing a valuable resource for the realization and development of satellite communications in Serbia. Serbia is one of the few countries that have the same orbital position for the future FSS and BSS satellite network, which undoubtedly presents a significant advantage, primarily in terms of economic benefits, due to reduced costs in implementing these networks,” the statement reads.
The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC23), organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), took place from November 20th to December 15th in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Back in 2020, RATEL submitted a request for the inclusion of the Serbian satellite network in the FSS Plan and the alteration of the orbital position of the Serbian satellite network in the BSS Plan.
Additionally, RATEL initiated a modification to RR Appendix 30B, aimed at streamlining the process of including satellite networks in the FSS Plan. This topic was also addressed in the agenda of the world conference under AI7 Topic E.
The initiative by RATEL was joined by the administrations of the following countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, North Macedonia, Moldova, Georgia, and South Sudan, which also submitted requests for inclusion in the FSS Plan.”
