This course provides a high-level overview of IoT concepts from a mobile perspective, outlines the role IoT can play in enhancing the quality of life of citizens and explains the key differences between traditional telecoms services and the IoT world.

This course covers spectrum engineering foundations for students to be able to perform link budget calculations, interference analysis, and provide an understanding of 3D propagation modeling for radio communications services frequency planning. This is intended to support modern spectrum management. The aim of this course is to provide students with spectrum engineering foundations in order to be able to perform link budget calculations, interference analysis, and provide understanding of 3D propagation modelling for radio communications services frequency planning.

This course covers strategic aspects of Internet governance and innovations, including technical, business and regulatory aspects. It covers the convergence of telecommunications to all-IP, including open Internet used for OTT services and NGN used by telecoms. Such convergence is driven by the development of fixed and mobile broadband (cable, optical, 5G), based on standards. In that way the course further covers broadband strategies and innovations as well as telecom standardization and policy.

The course on the Orbit-Spectrum International Regulatory Framework, with a specific focus on ITU's regulatory procedures, is designed to provide an introduction to the key principles of the regulations governing satellite projects. Participants will learn about the international legal and regulatory framework that governs the use and management of radio frequency spectrum and associated orbits. The course will also delve into ITU's specific regulatory processes, clarifying when and how to engage with this entity for requesting or registering radio frequencies for satellite projects.

The ICT infrastructure business planning training course offers regulators, policymakers, and stakeholders a practical approach for the accurate economic evaluation of broadband infrastructure installation and deployment plans. The expert guidance offered in this course is based on the ITU ICT infrastructure business planning toolkit - 5G networks, 2023 and aims at facilitating the development of credible and coherent business plans adaptable to a wide range of broadband infrastructure deployment projects.

This online course aims to equip national and local government authorities with the necessary knowledge and skills to foster a techn ical understanding of the telecommunications sector, specifically focusing on wireless infrastructure deployment. Through an exploration of regulatory and fiscal aspects related to permitting approvals and processes, this course provides a holistic overview of the key principles essential for promoting investment in connectivity and bridging the digital divide.

The course explains the e-governance legal framework and its various components. The course introduces the e-governance general legal concept and the legal disciplines that form the basis of the e-governance legal framework. The course covers the e-governance juridical aspects and challenges (including ethical concerns) from national and international (including European Union (EU)) perspectives. A walkthrough of the most relevant e-governance legal acts, cases, and principles will be provided during the course.

This course is primarily based on the ITU/World Bank digital regulation platform with a focus on the following aspects: digital transformation strategies, regulatory governance, evidence-based decision making, regulatory sandboxes, competition and economics (market analysis), infrastructure sharing, universal access and service financing efficiency, data and consumer protection, and transformative technologies regulatory aspects.
