World Radiocommunication Conference continues its work
The World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19) kicked off in Sharm el-Sheikh (Egypt) continues its work. Azerbaijan at the event is represented by employees of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies, as well as the State Administration of Radio Frequencies of the ministry.
At the conference, representatives of 193 member states of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) are discussing a number of issues of new technologies in the field of radio communications, including the allocation of radio frequencies for 5G technology, which will be widely introduced by 2020, new frequency bands for high-altitude platform stations, as well as regulatory measures to support the use of new and improved technologies for satellite applications. An exchange of views is also being held on the definition of radio frequencies for innovative radio technologies to be implemented in various fields, and on the establishment of coordination between countries in their implementation and other relevant issues. The prospects of future technological transformation are also being discussed at the conference.
In conclusion, documents prepared by working groups are approved by committees and submitted to plenary meetings. This contributes to the global harmonization of radio frequencies that will be used in new radio systems in the future.
The World Radiocommunication Conference will complete its work at the end of this week.
Note that the Conference is a high-level event held every four years. If needed, the revision of the ITU radiocommunication rules, international treaties governing the use of radio frequency spectrum and satellite orbits is also within its competence.
It should be reminded that Azerbaijan actively participates in the work of the organization. Thus, for the first time, the nominations of three representatives of the Communications Administration of Azerbaijan were approved for senior positions in the study groups of the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau. Senior Adviser of the Telecommunications and Post Department of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies Gulam Abdullayev was elected deputy chairman of Study Group 1 (SG 1) Radio Frequency Management, Deputy Chairman of Azercosmos OJSC Dunay Badirkhanov – Study Group 4 (SG 4) Satellite Services, chief of the State Administration of Radio Frequencies of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies Rahid Alekberli – deputy chairman of Study Group 5 (SG 5) Terrestrial Services.
