Conclusions
Importance of Radio Spectrum Monitoring
It is encouraging to use SRD device and develop sharing technology
in order to enhance efficiency in the management of radio resources.
In order to Prevent a side effect of Deregulation which promotes
Frequency Utilization, it is important to Strengthen Monitoring after
Licensing.
A Radio Monitoring allows us to Promote and Spread the Industry
related to Radio Wave.
28
Conclusions
Radio Monitoring in Korea
Korean Radio Monitoring Systems have been deployed
successfully with recent IT Technology for the Last 10 years.
Now we have a Total Solution Compliant with International
Recommendations.
As a result, the Number of Violation Stations and Illegal
Stations has been Decreased since 2005 with a Successful
Operation of Korean Monitoring System.
