Working Party 5A has incorporated new developments in
technology into its Reports and Recommendations on land
mobile systems and standards that will result in reduced
energy consumption. There have been no outputs specifically
devoted to this topic, as it is covered in the regular updating of
the technical and operational characteristics of systems and
standards under the purview of Working Party 5A.
WP 5B Although no specific contribution was received, the WP 5B
meeting in November 2012 discussed its relevance to the
scope of this Resolution. The result could be summarized as
provided in Note 1.

WP 5B Although no specific contribution was received, the WP 5B
meeting in November 2012 discussed its relevance to the
scope of this Resolution. The result could be summarized as
provided in Note 2.
Aeronautical and maritime systems are designed to expedite the passage of aircraft and ships from one port to another safely in a manner that reduces the
flight/voyage time and hence reduces the fuel burnt in undertaking that flight/voyage. Since this fuel/energy saving is significantly greater than any saving that
might result from improving the power efficiency of the radio equipment used to facilitate such flights/voyages it is felt more prudent to concentrate on
designing systems to further expedite the passage of aircraft/ships rather than on the power efficiency of the radio equipment.
Where aviation is looking at employing energy efficient systems that are powered through fuel harvesting there is a dilemma because in order to design a robust
system that can be powered by such a means spectral efficiency has to be sacrificed.
In certain cases the introduction of green systems such as wind farms or ships partially powered by kites, additional equipment needs to be installed to either
detect the presence of such systems or to mitigate their effects on aeronautical and maritime navigational radio systems.
Note 2: The work of WP 5B is closely related to that of 3 other UN bodies:
–
International Civil Aviation Organization
–
International Maritime Organization
–
World Meteorological Organization.
Due to the global nature of these organizations they are interested in ensuring that their systems are globally interoperable and hence they have well established mechanisms
for developing globally harmonised standards and recommended practices. These standards and recommended practices, when addressing radio systems take into account
and ensure conformance of such systems to the ITU Radio Regulations.
Additionally, since these systems are routinely used for ensuring the safety of human life and property there is a significant regulatory framework and conformance testing
already carried out to ensure that these standards and recommended practices are adhered too.
In the view of WP 5B therefore, there is no need to take any further action towards ensuring conformance or interoperability with the Radio Regulations.
