Major WRC-15 Outcomes

The World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 (WRC-15) has been held by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) at Geneva, Switzerland during the period 2-27 November 2015, WRCs are held every three to four years to review the regulatory framework for international spectrum management and satellite coordination. This framework is contained in the treaty level Radio Regulations.

Qatar is a signatory to the ITU Convention, which is a treaty-level legal instrument that obliges Qatar to comply with the Radio Regulations.

The delegation of Qatar at WRC-15 played a significant role in securing major outcomes for spectrum management to be integrated into the national regulatory framework over the next 12 months, the benefits to Qatar from the outcomes of WRC–15 are considerable, and will form the basis of revisions of the CRA spectrum planning for the next four years.
