Description

Wireless technology now drives the development and diversification of information and communication services for government, industry, and the public. In line with the rapid growth of many wireless services and applications, efficient management of radio spectrum has become more and more important for the socio-economic development of a country. The radio spectrum is a scarce natural resource and foundation for all the new mobile applications, and how efficiently use this crucial asset could decides the flourishment or languishment of new wireless service industries in a country.

The target audience for this course is incoming and emerging ICT/Telecommunications regulators and policymakers. 

Basic knowledge of spectrum engineering or telecommunications 

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

  • Understand the fundamentals of spectrum management and establish a spectrum management regulatory framework. 
  • Gain an understanding of the role of ITU, region, and National Regulatory Authorities in spectrum management. 
  • Build spectrum management knowledge on international regulations, recommendations, principles, and processes for various services. 
  • Understand the guidelines on EMF human exposure limits and other related topics to spectrum management. 

This course will be delivered using self-paced online learning. The course is delivered using interactive modules posted on the course page and selected reference materials that the participants can study for further insights. 

The course is delivered using interactive modules with activities like quizzes, drag and drop exercises, flipcards, etc.

Total score higher than 70% on the final exam is required to obtain the ITU digital badge.
