Radio Spectrum Policy and Strategic Regulation
3 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Radio frequency spectrum is heavily used in a growing number of services globally. To use the radio spectrum efficiently, its use must be coordinated and regulated through both national regulations and the Radio Regulations ITU. Although the effectiveness of a spectrum management cannot easily be defined, it is related to how well the system meets the national needs and how well it is able to safeguard the interests of the users.
Telecontran’s 3-day Workshop on Radio Spectrum Policy and Strategic Regulation is designed to cover fundamentals of wireless communications and services, explaining in detail what RF spectrum management is, why it is important, which are the authorities regulating the use of spectrum, and how is it managed and enforced at the international, regional and national levels. It also offers insights to the regulatory, economic, legal, management policy-making aspects involved as well as technological and regulatory changes that affect spectrum management.
After successful completion of this workshop participants will be able to
- Sketch the impact of the latest technologies and services as well as appropriate principles and policies on spectrum management and how the spectrum management framework works efficiently
- Frame different spectrum valuation methods and different types of auction practised globally in various markets.
- Identify, evaluate, and select the appropriate management techniques to establish and operate radio frequency assignment and associated planning processes
- Review overall regulatory plans for new or expanded radio services, as well as potential improvements in existing regulatory processes
- Identify the main approaches to spectrum allocation and apply spectrum monitoring and enforcement principles
COURSE CURRICULUM
This course is specially designed for Radio Network Planners, Project Managers, RF Engineers & Technicians and frequency spectrum and policy makers from Telecom Operators and Regulators, in a word, anyone working with radio spectrum allocation and communications with a need to know about regulations for the utilization of the radio spectrum and methods for analysis, planning and coordination of radio systems in order to achieve required performance within the system without interfering with other radio systems.

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TELECONTRAN !!
Regulatory issues on each of the topics have been provided with proper explanation and detailed training note.
It covered all the aspects of telecom tower from the site survey, types of tower, OPEX and CAPEX of a tower site, construction of tower and maintenance plan plus safety procedures.
The content of the material is well structured and interconnected and the workshop provided well explanation on spectrum management, ICT development and new emerging technologies.
The training course was excellent and very much useful for my daily activities.
The workshop is full of technical information and terms and in-depth knowledge about telecommunications.
