ITURstandarder

ITURstandarder refers to a set of recommendations and technical standards developed by the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R). The ITU-R is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international radio-frequency spectrum management and satellite orbits. Its primary role is to ensure the efficient and effective use of radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbits, which are finite natural resources.

The ITURstandarder are crucial for the global harmonized operation of radiocommunication systems. These standards cover a vast range of topics, including spectrum allocation, radio wave propagation, spectrum monitoring, and the technical characteristics of various radiocommunication services. This includes mobile communications, broadcasting, amateur radio, satellite communication, and maritime mobile services, among others.

By establishing these international standards, the ITU-R facilitates interoperability between different radiocommunication equipment and services worldwide. This ensures that devices manufactured in one country can function effectively in another, promoting global trade and seamless communication. The recommendations also aim to prevent harmful interference between different radio services, which is essential for the reliable functioning of critical infrastructure and public safety communications. Decisions and recommendations made by the ITU-R are adopted at World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRCs) and Radiocommunication Assemblies (RAs), which are attended by member states and invited observers.
