The training program covered a comprehensive range of topics critical to spectrum management. Participants delved into Spectrum Management Policies and Wireless Telecom Systems, gaining insights into the legal and policy frameworks that shape spectrum management. They also explored the technical components and functionalities of wireless telecom systems, which are essential for the effective allocation and use of spectrum resources.
Hands-on sessions played a pivotal role in the training, with attendees engaging in practical exercises using Spectrum Analyzers and Signal Testing Tools. These sessions allowed participants to apply technical skills, interpret spectrum data accurately, and make informed decisions regarding spectrum allocation. Such practical experience is crucial for ensuring that participants can effectively manage spectrum resources in their professional roles.
In addition to the technical aspects, the training included practical exercises with Radio Network Simulation and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Tools. Participants learned to use GIS to improve spectrum planning and management and executed simulations to assess network coverage and quality. This hands-on experience aimed to enhance participants’ ability to address and resolve spectrum management challenges in real-world scenarios.
MOTC Minister Paisalin Tago commended the Spectrum Management and RF Planning training as a vital advancement for regional telecom expertise. He noted that the collaboration with the Asia Open RAN Academy (AORA) provides crucial hands-on experience and deepens regulatory knowledge. He emphasized that this initiative strengthens the region’s telecommunications infrastructure and prepares professionals for future telecommunication challenges.
The training program marks a significant advancement in the region’s telecommunications sector. By equipping local professionals with cutting-edge skills and knowledge, the BTC and AORA are contributing to the broader goal of strengthening the region’s telecommunications infrastructure. This initiative highlights the ongoing efforts to support and elevate the technical proficiency necessary for managing vital radio frequency resources effectively.
