In the era of wireless devices, the world is facing many challenging problems, he said, expressing his hope that the APT will work together to support member countries to solve these problems and overcome challenges.

Participants are expected to discuss many important issues related to management, including finding potential bands for 6G technology, broadband satellite beam management, band extension for wireless internet, and 5G technology.

The meeting is also an important forum for management agencies, organisations and businesses in the fields of frequency and wireless to discuss and update research activities in the region and around the world. Among the topics discussed, Vietnam is particularly interested in the implementation of new technologies, frequency planning, and trends in the selection of appropriate bands and technologies./.
