This course will cover an in-depth understanding of theories, tools and practices involved in spectrum management strategic planning and policy developments that are aligned with forward-looking analytical spectrum management approaches enabling wireless innovation. 

This course is designed to immerse participants in the technological evolution and standard advancement of 5G and 5G-Advance, the development, policies, and ecosystem of the 5G industry as well as the typical application areas of 5G, such as energy, industry, education, healthcare, culture, and tourism, etc. It also covers deployment modalities through case studies in emerging technologies like AI, cloud computing, and big data.

This course will focus on the economics of spectrum management. The aim of this course is to introduce students to the main economic principles and market-based mechanisms of spectrum management.  It presents and analyses available market tools for economic efficiency in the use of spectrum, such as auctions and spectrum pricing. It takes into account students’ need to understand the overall context - especially how and where market- and price- based tools fit into a country’s chosen regime of modern spectrum management. 

El módulo aborda tres elementos cruciales en la gestión del espectro radioeléctrico (RE): la UIT (Unión Internacional de Telecomunicaciones), la CITEL (Comisión Interamericana de Telecomunicaciones) y las CRM (Conferencias Regionales de Radiocomunicaciones). Se analiza un marco de referencia que ofrece una visión global de las radiocomunicaciones y las tendencias en el uso de las bandas del espectro RE, especialmente en relación con las nuevas tecnologías de banda ancha.

The course covers the role, functions and basic techniques of spectrum monitoring, and purpose and capabilities of different types of spectrum monitoring equipment.

This module will provide learners with an understanding of the management of radio spectrum related to satellite communications syst ems.

Este curso está diseñado para personal del Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) que deseen ampliar sus conocimientos y competencias en las diferentes disciplinas (técnica, financiera, legal) de de la gestión y regulación del espectro, tanto a nivel nacional como en el contexto internacional . El curso cubre el contexto general y los objetivos de la gestión del espectro y su realización práctica en una estructura multidisciplinaria a nivel internacional, regional y nacional.

The SMTP is designed for individuals within ICT and telecommunications sectors who wish to enhance their knowledge and competence in the area of spectrum management. This includes engineers and managers working in telecommunications regulatory authorities, ICT service providers and other ICT stakeholders. Policy makers in ministries and government departments responsible for ICTs will also benefit from this programme. This module aims to provide participants with a comprehensive view of some of the most dynamically developing business areas of radi ocommunications.

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.

Wireless technology now drives the development and diversification of information and communication services for government, industry, and the public. In line with the rapid growth of many wireless services and applications, efficient management of radio spectrum has become more and more important for the socio-economic development of a country. The radio spectrum is a scarce natural resource and foundation for all the new mobile applications, and how efficiently use this crucial asset could decides the flourishment or languishment of new wireless service industries in a country.
