WRC-23: Expert perspectives from ITU News Magazine
ITU News
Over the course of 2023, we put together an ITU News Magazine series dedicated to the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC‑23). Each edition offers expert perspectives and insights on topics for discussion during the five-week conference among Member States of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
WRC‑23 – bringing together countries worldwide – will review and update the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of the radio-frequency spectrum and the geostationary-satellite and non-geostationary-satellite orbits.
Organizations, companies, and experts in the ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU‑R) have provided technical input and outlined coordinated regional positions throughout the preceding four-year study cycle.
The conference takes place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from 20 November to 15 December.
