HOME - About APRSC 2010

Radio spectrum is one of the scarcest natural resources. Both the public and the private sectors have shown an increasing concern about the use of spectrum. It is the local authority's responsibility to ensure the right allocation of the frequency to satisfy different users. The emergence of digital broadcast and digital communication technologies brings new impact and call for revamping the spectrum policy.

In April 2009, IETHK lined up the authority and major industry players to deliver the Spectrum Management and Policy Symposium 2009 . The Symposium was enormously received by the public and those who concern the spectrum utilization. With a highly positive feedback, the organizing committee members reconvene again for the Asia Pacific Radio Spectrum Conference 2010 to be held in Hong Kong from April 8 to 9, 2010.

Welcome Messages from the Chairmen

It is indeed my great pleasure to extend my warmest welcome to invite you to participant the Asia Pacific Radio Spectrum Conference 2010 to be held in Hong Kong on April 8th and 9th, 2010.

The APRSC 2010 will provide an invaluable opportunity for radio professionalism, country authorities and management executives from the Asia Pacific Region as well as around the world to exchange wealth knowledge and insights in

the spectrum management of radio communication segment. The Steering Committee has been committed to facilitating exchanges by creating a platform that stimulates discussion on a broad array of focal areas covering the public, commercial, and regulation aspects. Among the various subjects on the spectrum use, perhaps two most critical concerns lately are environmental impacts and security measures. As you go through the Program section in this web site, you would find that we have invited management executives in the civil service, utility, and transportation sectors to share their experience in and solutions to environmental, safety, and security issues. Such opportunity is rare. New technologies cultivate new applications that change the way we communicate. At the same time, government policies and regulations have a significant influence to the landscape of commercial services that are available to the public. On day two of the conference, key industry participants and regulators around the world will reveal their latest development and their perspectives on current and future industry opportunity.  

Aside from the technical presentations and keynote speeches, the biggest benefit is the networking opportunity that will allow you to meet the industry leaders face to face. By attending, you will be synchronized and be part of the ever evolving Spectrum industry. The Steering Committee and I look forward to seeing you in the conference.

Best Regards,
Ir. Jolly Wong

Welcome to the Asia Pacific Radio Spectrum Conference 2010. After our hugely successful Spectrum Management and Policy Symposium 2009 last year, IETHK and OFTA continue to spearhead the effort to scale up the conference.This year the scope of the conference has been expanded to a regional level to accommodate participants in Asia, from China to Australia inclusive. The zealous support received from the regulators, academics, and

key participants from the industry worldwide is very encouraging. We have confirmed speakers from PR China, Australia, UK, and USA. Their presence will unfurl the insights from the industry of telecom, finance, legal, as well as regulatory. This is also a place where significant spectrum users can share their experience and express their interest.  

On behalf of the organizing committee, I am pleased to report that all team members have fully devoted the efforts to make sure this conference is informative, enjoyable, and memorable so that you will bring home with valuable information for building your spectrum strategy. If you are interested in obtaining the forward direction of the spectrum use and learning the latest development among the industry players, this is a place where you want to be.  

I would like to thank our supporting organisations and the event sponsors. Without their participation and generous support, this conference would not have made possible. Please click here to register or contact our Program Co-ordinator for the latest information.
