HK, Guangdong Sign Frequency Coordination Agreement
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Guangdong province signed on Monday a Frequency Coordination Agreement to ensure the efficient use of radio frequencies in the two places, according to the Hong Kong government sources.
The agreement, while ensuring that radio frequencies in the HKSAR and Guangdong could be used efficiently with minimum mutual interference, will also facilitate the development of telecommunications services on both sides.
The agreement covers the procedures and standards for coordinating terrestrial radio communication services including land mobile, fixed, maritime and broadcasting services in the frequency band from 30 MHz to 40 GHz.
It also includes new procedures for handling cases of radio interference and a mechanism for both parties to meet annually to revise the content of the agreement in light of changes in technologies and demand of the telecommunications industry.
The first Frequency Coordination Agreement between Hong Kong and Guangdong was signed in 1992, covering land mobile, fixed and broadcasting services for frequencies below 1GHz.
