ITU Radiocommunication seminar supports space
and terrestrial services development in the Americas
San Salvador Forum examines future challenges and opportunities
Geneva, 31 July 2015 – The Regional Radiocommunication
Seminar 2015 for the Americas Region (RRS-15 Americas) concluded today in San
Salvador, El Salvador. The seminar was organized by ITU in cooperation with the
International Regional Organization Comision Tecnica Regional de
Telecomunicaciones (COMTELCA)
and hosted by the Superintendencia General de Electricidad y Telecomunicaciones
of El Salvador (SIGET).
The first two days of the seminar, which opened on 27 July, covered general
concepts related to spectrum management as well as procedures associated with
the recording of frequency assignments for satellites and terrestrial stations
in the Master International Frequency Register (MIFR).
The regional workshops, which focused on terrestrial services and satellite
coordination in the following two days, provided hands-on experience with ITU
notification procedures as well as with the software and electronic publications
that are made available by the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau to Member States
and to ITU-R Sector Members.
The seminar concluded on Friday, 31 July, with a Forum discussion on “WRC15:
Challenges and opportunities for the Region".
“The Regional Radiocommunication Seminar in San Salvador marks an important
step in preparing for future decisions related to spectrum management and
coordinating satellite assignments in the region,” said ITU Secretary-General
Houlin Zhao. “The seminar and related workshops have contributed meaningfully
towards the dissemination of information and capacity-building that will assist
in the development of regional contributions to the forthcoming World
Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15), which will be held in Geneva, 2-27
November 2015.”
Over 100 participants from 14 countries attended the seminar.
