Customs Area 1 Command @Ph: Sensitizes stakeholders on clearance procedures - ITREALMS

ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

The Nigeria Customs Service Area 1 Command Port Harcourt has commenced stakeholders sensitization on issues of non conformities with statutory procedures and other vices in clearance processes, reports ITREALMS.

The sensitisation which commenced last week in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital comes in phases to avail the Maritime operators especially the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents, (ANLCA), (NAGAFF) Bonded Terminals operations, shipping agents among others the opportunity to learn the Customs procedure codes which would in turn ensure seamless clearance of containers at the ports.

NIN-SIM policy: NCC warns MNOs, licensed agents to follow procedures - ITREALMS

ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has warned Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), their licensed agents and telecom subscribers to ensure they follow procedures in complying with the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) registration.

NCC also to apply the procedures as laid down in Revised National Identity Policy for SIM Registration in the activation and replacement of SIMs.

WRC’19 adopts new regulatory procedures for radio communication - ITREALMS

ITREALMS:

The 38th ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) ended in Geneva with adoption of a new innovative milestone-based regulatory approach for the deployment of non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) satellites in specific bands and services for radio communication, reports ITREALMS.

The agreement, ITREALMS gathered was reached at WRC-19 thereby establishing regulatory procedures for the deployment of non-geostationary satellites, including mega-constellations in low-Earth orbit (LEO). 

ITREALMS reports that the milestone-based approach will provide a regulatory mechanism to help ensure that ITU’s Master International Frequency Register reasonably reflects the actual deployment of such NGSO satellite systems in certain frequency bands and services.

In defining more flexible timelines and objective criteria, this approach also seeks to strike a balance between the prevention of spectrum warehousing, the proper functioning of coordination mechanisms, and the operational requirements related to the deployment of NGSO systems.

While satellites in geostationary orbit are aligned with the earth’s rotation at an elevation of 36,000 km, NGSO satellites move across the sky during their orbit around the earth, in medium Earth-orbit 8,000 – 20,000 km above the earth and in low-Earth orbit at elevations between 400 and 2000 km.

With the availability of launch vehicles capable of supporting multiple satellite launches, mega-constellations consisting of hundreds or thousands of spacecraft are becoming a popular solution for global telecommunications, including to remote rural areas and isolated communities, providing low-latency broadband coverage (owing to their proximity to the earth’s surface), remote sensing, space and upper atmosphere research, meteorology, astronomy, technology demonstration and education.
