The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has exciting news as it prepares to host not just one, but two major spectrum management events in Bahrain.
First on the agenda is the 31st Arab Spectrum Management Group (ASMG) Meeting, followed by the highly anticipated 7th MENA Spectrum Management Conference, scheduled to take place from September 9th to 14th.
The Arab Spectrum Group, established back in 2001, stands as a vital platform fostering collaboration among its 22 member states to efficiently manage radio frequencies. Its mission is to coordinate spectrum-related matters at both the Arab and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) levels.
The core objective of this organization is to ensure that Arab nations are not only well-prepared but also proficient in harnessing available frequency spectrum resources. This strategic approach is aimed at optimizing productivity and elevating service quality across the board.
The 31st ASMG meeting will revolve around comprehensive discussions concerning the forthcoming World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23). The main focus will be to solidify participating countries’ stances based on ITU-R activities and the unique requirements of Arab countries. This event seeks to make valuable contributions to the WRC-23 agenda and pave the way for subsequent World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-27) agenda items.
As for the 7th MENA Spectrum Management conference, it promises a compelling lineup of sessions and workshops encompassing a diverse array of spectrum-related subjects. The spotlight will be on key themes such as ‘The Future Shape of Satellite Systems’, ‘Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)’, ‘Final Preparation for World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (WRC-23)’, and ‘Spectrum Bands to Deliver The 6G Vision’.
Anticipate engaging discussions, real-world case studies, and enlightening presentations by esteemed experts, all offering invaluable insights into the latest spectrum management practices.
The conference is positioned as a dynamic platform where industry leaders, regulators, and stakeholders converge to explore spectrum matters relevant to the MENA region and beyond.
Both of these events are poised to deliver an assortment of networking avenues, facilitating the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and best practices that will drive forward the continual evolution of this dynamic field.
