PAK Participates in the 3rd African Preparatory Meeting for WRC-27
From 8 to 11 September 2026 in Tunis, Tunisia, PAK contributes to discussions on the future of maritime and port radiocommunications
From 8 to 11 September 2026, in Tunis, Tunisia, the Port Authority of Kribi participated in the 3rd African Preparatory Meeting (APM27-3) for the 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-27), alongside key African stakeholders in the sector.
PAK at the heart of international discussions
From 8 to 11 September 2026, in Tunis, Tunisia, the Port Authority of Kribi (PAK) took part in the 3rd African Preparatory Meeting (APM27-3) for the 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-27).
The meeting brought together, in particular, Cameroon’s Ministry in charge of Posts and Telecommunications, the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency of Cameroon, as well as several companies and African stakeholders involved in radiocommunications.
PAK’s participation comes at a time when ports are becoming increasingly connected and digitalised environments. In this ecosystem, radiocommunications are strategically important for the smooth operation of maritime and port activities, navigational safety, communications among the various stakeholders across the logistics chain, and the deployment of new technological solutions.
Making the port sector’s needs heard
Decisions taken within the framework of World Radiocommunication Conferences can have direct implications for maritime and port activities. PAK’s participation in APM27-3 therefore provides an opportunity to contribute to discussions on the use and evolution of the radio-frequency spectrum, while highlighting the specific operational needs of ports.
For PAK, this approach is part of a broader international engagement aimed at better anticipating technological developments that may directly impact port operations.
It also contributes to strengthening dialogue among stakeholders from the maritime, telecommunications and radiocommunications sectors around the challenges of connectivity, security and digital transformation.
Anticipating the technologies of tomorrow’s ports
Beyond institutional representation, participation in APM27-3 provides PAK with an opportunity to monitor regulatory and technological developments related to spectrum use and anticipate their implications for port infrastructure and operations.
This commitment also contributes to discussions on regulatory frameworks adapted to the realities and ambitions of tomorrow’s ports, in a context marked by the accelerating digitalisation of maritime and port activities.
Preparing the Smart Port of tomorrow
The digital transformation of ports cannot be separated from strategic management of the radio-frequency spectrum. Radiocommunications are one of the foundations of the connectivity required to support the evolution of port operations, security systems and related services.
Through its participation in APM27-3, the Port Authority of Kribi reaffirms its commitment to contributing to international discussions that are helping shape the future of maritime and port communications, security and connectivity.
Being present today in the forums where the rules for tomorrow’s telecommunications are being shaped also means helping prepare the Smart Port of tomorrow, for an increasingly connected, efficient and attractive port ecosystem.
