The major opportunities and challenges of enabling spectrum sharing through dynamic access technologies will be a key theme of the upcoming DSA Global Summit 2025 taking place from 17–19 November in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) has confirmed that its flagship Global Summit will convene regulators, spectrum authorities, industry leaders and academics from across the Wi-Fi ecosystem to explore how spectrum policies and success stories can be implemented worldwide.
DSA President Martha Suarez said: “We are delighted to announce the date and location of this year’s Global Summit. Dynamic spectrum management and unlicensed spectrum access are pivotal to optimizing our increasingly digital society. These approaches can modernise public services and infrastructure, and enable cutting-edge smart applications across critical sectors. The DSA Global Summit remains the world’s leading event for all things spectrum, and we welcome all interested parties to attend.”
The Summit will run alongside the Wi-Fi World Congress, creating a joint platform focused on the latest innovations, standards, spectrum allocations and applications across government, business and residential sectors.
The first day of the Summit will spotlight sector-specific use cases where dynamic spectrum management and unlicensed access are already driving results, including in smart cities, infrastructure, emergency communications, healthcare, hospitality, enterprise, sports and industry. These discussions will emphasize how effective spectrum policies enable reliable connectivity, improved performance, and greater inclusion.
Day two will shift focus to joint sessions with the Wi-Fi World Congress and regulator-led panels, addressing how spectrum policies can be put into practice, the benefits of spectrum sharing, and emerging frameworks for licensed and unlicensed access. Discussions will also consider the need for stronger international harmonization of regulatory approaches.
The final day will look at implementation strategies and future directions for the Wi-Fi sector, covering technologies such as Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, dynamic sharing systems, current technology enablers, and innovations needed to adapt spectrum policy to future connectivity demands.
Attendees can expect insights from a broad range of stakeholders, including leading regulators and institutions such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), NTIA, Ofcom, WAPA, WISPA, Abrint, APJII, the Ministry of Digital Affairs and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. Contributions will also come from academic and research institutions including the University of Notre Dame, the Directed Energy Research Centre, the National Radio Research Agency and Cullen International, alongside industry players such as Cisco, Broadcom, HPE, Meta and Amazon.
Further details of speakers and session tracks will be revealed in the coming weeks.
