To analyse the monitored data to ensure that the different services operate in accordance with the Table of Frequency Allocations.
To verify and take action as the more intensive use of the radio frequency spectrum has resulted in more cases of harmful interference.

Administrations which have a monitoring station facility to monitor the required frequency bands (between 2 850 kHz and 28 000 kHz) can participate in collecting and submitting their data to the Bureau regularly.
Administrations from all Regions are encouraged to participate in order to have a global coverage.

Yes. If your Administration is interested in participating to the program, please contact the Radio communication Bureau (BRTPR@itu.int).
