Gulf Cooperation Council Sets Stage for 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference in Bahrain Meeting
During a recent meeting in Bahrain, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries laid the groundwork for the 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference. The meeting established the group’s structure and formed five working groups to organize and oversee the conference agenda items. Each GCC country will chair a working group to manage the conference’s preparations until 2027. Engineer Hassan Muhammad Hassan, Director of the Frequency Spectrum Department at the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, emphasized the importance of these meetings in shaping the future of radiocommunications, particularly in managing resources like frequency spectrum and satellite orbits. The discussions also focused on adapting to modern technology trends such as smart cities, the Internet of Things, and international mobile communications. These regional preparatory meetings are seen as crucial for the success of global conferences, with the 2027 event expected to foster international cooperation and develop strategies for the sector’s advancement. The meetings reviewed papers from Gulf administrations, discussed the conference’s future agenda, and devised a work plan to ensure timely preparations for the 2027 conference.
