The ​​International Teleco​mmunication Union (ITU) is organizing the ​Regional Radiocommunication Seminar 2022 for ​Asia-Pacific (RRS-22-Asia-Pacific), kindly hosted by the Ministry of Communications (MOC) of Fiji, in cooperation with the ​Pacific Islands Telecommunications Association (PITA) and supported by The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts (DITRDCA) of Government of Australia.

This Seminar​ will be held at Nadi, Fiji, over the period 15-20​ December 2022* ​ (please see the Draft programme, on​ Tab: Information)​.​

A pre-seminar web tutorial will be available on this website (please see Tab: Download Resources). This tutorial ​will provide the basic concepts of spe​ctrum management ​at national and international levels, their links with ​​ITU Radio Regulations (RR), ITU and ITU-R​ structures and functions, including the study groups and BR departments, and ITU basic texts, with emphasis on the RR and their associated Rules of Procedure (RoP). A good understanding of the pre-seminar web tutorial concepts is required in order to be able to participate actively in the Seminar​.
The first part of the Seminar will cover concepts related to international ​spectrum management and the procedures for recording of frequency assignments in t​he ​Master International Frequency Register (MIFR). This will be followed by a review of the modifications to the RR, associated World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) ​Resolutions and ITU-R Resolutions decided by the last WRC ​(WRC-19) and Radiocommunication Assembly (RA-19), ​​as well as a review of the agenda of​ the upcoming WRC-23. This part will also cover the current regulatory framework for international frequency management and the ITU-R Recommendations and best practices regarding the use of spectrum for both terrestrial and space services.  This will include basic training ​​on ICT tools developed by ITU for frequency notifications for those services and for the technical examinations. In addition, information on BR and BDT spectrum management activities will be provided.
During the following part, tutorials ​will be carried out on the use of these tools for terrestrial and space stations. These tutorials ​will enable the participants to get experience with ITU notification procedures as well as with the software and electronic publications made available by the Radiocommunication Bureau to the Administrations of Member States and to the ITU-R Sector Members.
RRS-22-Asia-Pacific​​ will conclude with a forum on: “Radiocommunication Trends: Opportunities and challenges for the Asia-Pacific Region”​. This session’s topics are indicated o​n the ​Draft ​programme (please see on Tab: Information).​
