ITU region

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in its International Radio Regulations, divides the world into three ITU regions for the purposes of managing the global radio spectrum. Each region has its own set of frequency allocations, the main reason for defining the regions.

• Region 1 comprises Europe, Africa, the Middle East west of the Persian Gulf and including Iraq, the former Soviet Union and Mongolia.

• Region 2 covers the Americas and some of the eastern Pacific Islands.

• Region 3 contains most of non-former Soviet Union, Asia east of and including Iran, and most of Oceania.
