Final Acts WRC-07

World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2007)

International Telecommunication Union

Preamble

The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2003) resolved, by Resolution 802 (WRC-03), to recommend to the ITU Council that a World Radiocommunication Conference be held in 2007 for a period of four weeks.

At its 2004 session, the Council resolved, by its Resolution 1227, that the Conference be convened in Geneva from 22 October to 16 November 2007, and established its agenda. The agenda, dates and place were approved by the required majority of the Member States of the Union.

The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07) met in Geneva for the stipulated period and worked on the basis of the agenda approved by the Council. It adopted a revision of the Radio Regulations and Appendices thereto, as contained in these Final Acts.

In accordance with its agenda, the Conference also took other decisions that it considered necessary or appropriate, including the review and revision of existing Resolutions and Recommendations and the adoption of various new Resolutions and Recommendations as contained in these Final Acts.

The majority of the provisions revised by WRC-07, as contained in the revision of the Radio Regulations referred to in this Preamble, shall enter into force as from 1 January 2009; the remaining provisions shall apply as from the dates indicated in the Resolutions listed in Article 59 of the revised Radio Regulations.

The delegates signing the revision of the Radio Regulations contained in these Final Acts, which is subject to approval by their competent authorities, declare that, should a Member State of the Union make reservations concerning the application of one or more of the provisions of the revised Radio Regulations, no other Member State shall be obliged to observe that provision or those provisions in its relations with that particular Member State.

MOD COM4/332/98 (B13/347/44) (R7/411/82)

32.1 § 1 Distress communications rely on the use of terrestrial MF, HF and VHF radio-communications and communications using satellite techniques. Distress communications shall have absolute priority over all other transmissions. The following terms apply:

• a) The distress alert is a digital selective call (DSC) using a distress call format, in the bands used for terrestrial radiocommunication, or a distress message format, in which case it is relayed through space stations.

• b) The distress call is the initial voice or text procedure.

• c) The distress message is the subsequent voice or text procedure.

• d) The distress alert relay is a DSC transmission on behalf of another station.

• e) The distress call relay is the initial voice or text procedure for a station not itself in distress. (WRC-07)

MOD COM4/332/99 (B13/347/45) (R7/411/83)

32.2 § 2 1) The distress alert shall be sent through a satellite either with absolute priority in general communication channels, on exclusive distress and safety frequencies reserved for satellite EPIRBs in the Earth-to-space direction or on the distress and safety frequencies designated in the MF, HF and VHF bands for digital selective calling (see Appendix 15). (WRC-07)

ADD COM4/332/100 (B13/347/46) (R7/411/84)

32.10A § 7A 1) A distress alert is false if it was transmitted without any indication that a mobile unit or person was in distress and required immediate assistance (see No. 32.9). Administrations receiving a false distress alert shall report this infringement in accordance with Section V of Article 15, if that alert:

• a) was transmitted intentionally;

• b) was not cancelled in accordance with No. 32.53A and Resolution 349 (WRC-97);

• c) could not be verified as a result of either the ship’s failure to keep watch on appropriate frequencies in accordance with Nos. 31.16 to 31.20, or its failure to respond to calls from an authorized rescue authority;

• d) was repeated; or

• e) was transmitted using a false identity.

Administrations receiving such a report shall take appropriate steps to ensure that the infringement does not recur. No action should normally be taken against any ship or mariner for reporting and cancelling a false distress alert. (WRC-07)

32.13E § 9C DSC procedures use a combination of automated functions and manual intervention to generate the appropriate distress call format in the most recent version of Recommendation ITU-R M.541. A distress alert sent by DSC consists of one or more distress alert attempts in which a message format is transmitted identifying the station in distress, giving its last recorded position and, if entered, the nature of the distress. In MF and HF bands, distress alert attempts may be sent as a single-frequency attempt or a multi-frequency attempt on up to six frequencies within one minute. In VHF bands, only single-frequency call attempts are used. The distress alert will repeat automatically at random intervals, a few minutes apart, until an acknowledgement sent by DSC is received.

For the Republic of Angola:

World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07):

The improvement of the macroeconomic situation of Angola has generated a new dynamics in the sector of telecommunications fostering a considerable growth in recent years, favourable to public investments and to new jobs. This results from the rehabilitation of the main transportation of telecommunication networks, which has improved the traffic flow between provinces, and has also increased the number of users and operators.

Given the fundamental importance of this sector to a developing economy and one with such growth potential, as it is the case of Angola, some legislative reforms have been created to address the management and exploration of the infrastructure, licensing, and equal opportunities.

The modernization of the telecommunication network is one of the concerns of the Angolan Government, which defined it in its development policies as the priority activity sector, and invested in the liberalization of this sector as an incentive to the private sector through public-private partnerships. Other items on the agenda for the restructuring efforts of the sector have been professional education, technical capacity, and technology transfer.

Presently, Angola can rely on the growth and on the significant increase of the number of users of cellular telephony technology, in which the analogue networks have been replaced by the digital networks for better quality of service, reduction of costs, mass distribution of information technology, the extension of the radio and television signal to rural areas in the interior of the country, in order to shorten distances, and to facilitate economic stability by rehabilitating the supporting infrastructure of the sector.
