The ACMA has released its program for RadComms 2018, its flagship event dealing with the management and use of Australia’s radiofrequency spectrum.
This year’s conference will explore how efficient and effective management of the radiofrequency spectrum will benefit all Australians.
“From the future of broadcasting platforms to the imminent deployment of 5G networks and new satellite constellations, RadComms 2018 will give participants insight into future communications technologies, services and applications,” says ACMA Authority Member James Cameron.
