WRC‑27 debate over LEO transmit‑power limits: protecting GEO services vs constraining LEO growth The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC‑27), scheduled to open Oct. 18, will take up proposed transmit‑power limits for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems. Regulators are weighing protection for Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) services against rules critics say could materially restrict capacity, link budgets and commercial scaling of mega‑constellations.
