In general, all stations, whatever their purpose, must be established and operated in such a manner as not to cause harmful interference to radio services or communications that operate in accordance with the Radio Regulations. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The application of the ITU Radio Regulations is the best instrument to keep interference levels under control and to prevent harmful interference. The Radio Regulations also contain other corrective measures to be applied when harmful interference occurs. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional information is available on this ITU Backgrounder:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/mediacentre\/backgrounders\/Pages\/radio-interference.aspx\">https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/mediacentre\/backgrounders\/Pages\/radio-interference.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    \n<div class=\"wp-block-brblocks-accordion\"><h4 class=\"accordion-title h4  transparent\" style=\"color:#000000\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"false\">How does the RRB handle cases of harmful interference?<\/h4><div class=\"accordion-content  transparent\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"accordion-inner\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In cases where concerned Administrations are unable to bilaterally resolve a case of harmful interference, it may be communicated to ITU\u2019s Radiocommunication Bureau with a request for assistance. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In cases of harmful interference referred to the Radiocommunication Bureau, the Bureau supports efforts to resolve matters between Administrations based on the Radio Regulations. In part, the Bureau can contact the Administration on the territory of which the radio station responsible for harmful interference is located or which is responsible for the space station in case of satellites and request the Administration to take prompt action to eliminate it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In cases that remain unresolved despite the assistance provided by the Bureau, matters are referred to the RRB. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a case of harmful interference is referred to the Radio Regulations Board, the RRB examines the investigation details and seeks to obtain a resolution based on the Radio Regulations. The Board aims to resolve the issue impartially and fairly, often through coordination and cooperation between the affected parties &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    \n<div class=\"wp-block-brblocks-accordion\"><h4 class=\"accordion-title h4  transparent\" style=\"color:#000000\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What actions can the RRB take to settle a case of harmful interference?\u00a0<\/h4><div class=\"accordion-content  transparent\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"accordion-inner\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In cases of harmful interference, the objective of the RRB is to resolve the matter to allow for the operation of radiocommunication services free of harmful interference in accordance with the rights and obligations of Administrations under the Radio Regulations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Board\u2019s Decisions can take different forms depending on each case and to fit the context of the situation, such as calling for cooperation from all concerned administrations in resolving the case, activating the international monitoring system to locate the source of the interference, or other technical measures. Typically, these Decisions address the Administration on the territory of which the radio station, which may be causing harmful interference, is located or which is responsible for the space station in case of satellites. The Board endeavours to reach its Decisions unanimously. If it cannot do so, a Decisioncan be taken if at least two-thirds of the members of the Board vote in favour thereof. Those Decisions are for the Bureau to implement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past Summaries of Decisions from RRB sessions are available here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/ITU-R\/conferences\/RRB\/Pages\/RRB-Archives.aspx\">https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/ITU<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/ITU-R\/conferences\/RRB\/Pages\/RRB-Archives.aspx\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/ITU-R\/conferences\/RRB\/Pages\/RRB-Archives.aspx\">R\/conferences\/RRB\/Pages\/RRB<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/ITU-R\/conferences\/RRB\/Pages\/RRB-Archives.aspx\">&#8211;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/ITU-R\/conferences\/RRB\/Pages\/RRB-Archives.aspx\">Archives.aspx<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/ITU-R\/conferences\/RRB\/Pages\/RRB-Archives.aspx\"> <\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    \n<div class=\"wp-block-brblocks-accordion\"><h4 class=\"accordion-title h4  transparent\" style=\"color:#000000\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What can the RRB do to enforce its Decisions?<\/h4><div class=\"accordion-content  transparent\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"accordion-inner\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RRB relies on Administrations to act on its Decisions in accordance with their rights and obligations under the Radio Regulations. RRB Decisions are specific to each individual matter brought before the Board and, when implemented, should resolve the case of harmful interference being addressed. If left unresolved, Administrations may bring the matter back to the attention of the RRB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In cases of harmful interference that remain unresolved or contested, the Board\u2019s Decisions and technical guidance are the tools available to the RRB and ITU to ensure radiocommunications operate free from harmful interference.

Also, the RRB reports to each WRC on the results of its studies on how the application of the radio regulations promotes efficient use and equitable access to the radio spectrum. These reports, along with RRB Recommendations and prior Decisions, can influence the outcomes of the WRCs, ensuring that the Radio Regulations remain effective and up to date. Decisions by the RRB may be appealed to the WRC. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    \n<div class=\"wp-block-brblocks-accordion\"><h4 class=\"accordion-title h4  transparent\" style=\"color:#000000\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What role does the RRB play in the assignment of radio frequencies to satellite systems and orbits?<\/h4><div class=\"accordion-content  transparent\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"accordion-inner\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RRB oversees the application of the Radio Regulations, including the process through which Member States assign frequencies to specific satellite networks along with their associated orbits. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    \n<div class=\"wp-block-brblocks-accordion\"><h4 class=\"accordion-title h4  transparent\" style=\"color:#000000\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"false\">How often does the RRB meet?<\/h4><div class=\"accordion-content  transparent\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"accordion-inner\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RRB normally meets three times a year to address matters brought to it by the<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Radiocommunication Bureau, via the BR Director\u2019s Report to the RRB, or through the submissions of ITU Member States.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-brblocks-code-editor\" data-selected-script=\"jquery\" data-code-content=\"alF1ZXJ5KCcuaXR1Q2FyZC5hbmltW2RhdGEtc3Bhbj0iNiJdJykuYXR0cignZGF0YS1zcGFuJywgJzEyJyk7Cg==\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-brblocks-magictools\" data-table-anchor=\"\"><div id=\"banner-image-container\" data-url=\"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2024\/07\/AdobeStock_862004574-Moyenne.jpeg\" data-overlay=\"true\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"folder":[],"class_list":["post-170","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"gs-tiny":false,"xl":false,"xxl":false,"xxxl":false,"xxxxl":false,"xxxxxl":false,"gform-image-choice-sm":false,"gform-image-choice-md":false,"gform-image-choice-lg":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"mgaillard","author_link":"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/author\/mgaillard\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/170\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itu-app42363.pagelyhosting.com\/radiocommunication-faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/folder?post=170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
