By The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA)
has today released the agenda for its eighth annual DSA Global Summit. Offering a
platform for industry professionals to collaborate with regulators and
authorities on progressing dynamic spectrum sharing worldwide, the event is
being held from 2 – 4 June 2020 in Paris, France.
“Last year was very active for the success of spectrum sharing and
regulation development, with many milestones reached. However, we are expecting
an even more progressive year in 2020 with decisions about crucial new
regulations being finalized worldwide,” said Martha Suarez, DSA President. “In
our upcoming Global DSA Summit, we will condense the industry’s progress
throughout the year into a three-day cooperative opportunity to develop the
leading dynamic spectrum sharing solutions.”
With global contributions from a variety of professional standpoints, the
event promises rich and diverse insight into industry advancement.
The event is set to start with a regulators workshop closed session, where
open discussions with spectrum authorities will be held to highlight the
challenges they face and how innovation in spectrum management can help to
address them. The summit will host several technical sessions, each structured
with effective collaboration in mind. In these, regulators, industry speakers,
not-for-profit organizations and academics will exchange and discuss the latest
dynamic spectrum access technologies.
Most prominent on the agenda are the discussions into next generation
Wi-Fi, TV White Space, millimeter Wave, Internet of Things (IoT) technology and
Mid-Band Spectrum Sharing, focusing on Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS)
and C-Band. All such topics have become increasingly salient over the past year
and are projected to overhaul the current spectrum structure over the next 12
months.
“We are committed to connecting the unconnected and underserved via
affordable dynamic spectrum sharing techniques, and collaboration is key to
driving spectrum sharing progress,” Martha continued. “For our 8th annual
event, we would like to thank ARCEP and ANFR sincerely for contributing to our
cause by kindly hosting us in Paris.”
With significant developments taking place in spectrum sharing this year,
the DSA 2020 Global Summit will be a key opportunity for all industry sectors
to continue pushing forward the momentum of spectrum access that has been
witnessed so far. Outcomes of the event can be followed on the DSA’s social
media and on their website, with summaries
being published after the summit is concluded.
