BIPT is responsible for the national and international coordination of radio frequencies.
The international coordination is regulated through agreements established at the level of the International Telecommunication Union or at multilateral level. These agreements describe the rights negotiated for each signatory country as well as the procedure amending these if necessary. These rights exist in various forms: frequencies and/or preferential codes, allotments, allocations.
They can be conditioned technically and administratively by other agreements.
BIPT’s mission exists in:
- keeping up-to-date the agreements more in particular through amendment procedures;
- developing new agreements according to the needs;
- guaranteeing their implementation.
