WRC Series 2023 #ITUWRCtechUK
Every three to four years, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) convenes the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), a critical forum for reviewing and, if necessary, revising the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of the radio-frequency spectrum. This precious resource, spanning from mobile communications to satellite navigation, underpins the very infrastructure of our interconnected world.
The WRC's decisions have a profound impact on the global telecommunications landscape, shaping the technologies and services that underpin our lives. By meticulously reviewing and refining the Radio Regulations, the WRC ensures that the radio-frequency spectrum is used optimally, enabling innovation and progress for all.
See below for our guest articles from across leading voices in the telecommunications sector.
The outcomes from WRC-23 and prospectus for WRC-27 will be a key topic for our flagship UK SPF Future Spectrum Summit. Be part of the conversation and register here.
If you would like to contribute, let us know when you are able to send the text, along with author name, job title, headshot and logo. The deadline for submissions is on Monday 04 December.
Any amplification would be incredible. Please promote this campaign via social media by mentioning @techUK and use the hashtag #ITUWRCtechUK
