ITU-R mission

​The mission of the ITU Radiocommunication Sector is to ensure rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the radio-frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services, including those using satellite orbits, and to carry out studies and adopt recommendations on radiocommunication matters.

Our mission lies within the broader framework of the purposes of ITU, as defined in Article 1 of the ITU Constitution and is, in particular, to “maintain and extend international cooperation among all the Member States of the Union for the improvement and rational use of telecommunications of all kinds”.
