ITU notes explosive growth of short-range radio devices
Workshop to facilitate harmonization for short range devices (SRDs) and
Ultra Wide Band (UWB)
Geneva, 22 May 2014 - ITU
experts and membership along with other organizations have been studying the
harmonization of spectrum usage to facilitate maximum gain and efficiency of
short range devices (SRDs) for global adoption. This is imperative in order to
accommodate the explosive growth and cross border proliferation of SRDs as well
as Ultra Wide Band (UWB), which can allow very high data throughput for
communications, high-resolution location and imaging devices. Recent studies may
provide opportunities for additional global or regional harmonization to support
and encourage long-term spectrum tenure for the implementation of the newest
technologies and result in increased business case sustainability.
What:
|
ITU Workshop on ‘Short-range Radio Devices and
Ultra Wide Band’
|
When:
|
3 June 2104, 11:00 - 18:00
|
Where:
|
ITU Popov Hall (ITU Tower Building)
|
Why:
|
To identify areas of spectrum that can be
globally or regionally harmonized to facilitate
the global adoption of SRD applications and
their related technologies, including UWB. The
workshop may also help identify activities which
can lead to the inclusion of additional
frequency opportunities for SRDs in
Recommendation ITU-R SM.1896
on global and regional harmonization of SRDs.
Resolution ITU-R 54-1
on
studies to achieve harmonization for SRDs
invites
ITU-R membership,
administrations and regional organizations as
well as standardization, scientific and
industrial organizations to participate actively
in these studies with a view to take necessary
action in relation with the administrations’
national regulations for SRDs.

Who:
|
Mr Sergey Pastukh, Chairman of
ITU-R Study Group 1
on Spectrum Management, along with
radiocommunication experts from ITU-R membership
and worldwide industry.
