2025. From 17 to 27 June, Geneva hosted the annual meeting of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), one of the most important decision-making forums in the global telecoms ecosystem. The event aims to provide direction on emerging international regulatory and technological trends in the areas of digital infrastructures, data-driven network services, radio spectrum management and the application of artificial intelligence. As an active member of the ITU, we are directly involved in the strategic discussions that are shaping the technological and regulatory framework for the digital future.
Active engagement in strategic dialogue
Membership of the ITU not only gives you access to the global professional discourse, it also gives you the opportunity to shape it, such as:
- efficient and sustainable allocation of radio spectrum,
- network interference management and automatic detection technologies,
- forecasting and managing the spectrum requirements of 5G/6G networks,
- and the role of AI and machine learning in spectrum and network management.
The forum was not only an opportunity for sharing experiences between public and industry players, but also for developing common guidelines – in particular with regard to the spectrum monitoring practices of national authorities, where Grepton provides an internationally recognised technology: the SIMon system.
The SIMon system: how does it relate to ITU objectives?
The SIMon (Spectrum and Interference Monitoring) system is one of the most advanced solutions for spectrum monitoring and interference management in Europe. The system:
- provides real-time data collection and analysis from multiple types of spectrum monitoring devices,
- enables map-based, visualised monitoring in an intuitive, user-friendly interface,
- supports operational decision making with machine learning-based clutter detection and predictive features,
SIMon is currently in active operation at national authorities in several European countries and is an excellent example of how a Hungarian development can fit into the global digital regulatory and technological environment. The system is a key enabler to support ITU objectives such as increasing efficiency of spectrum use, rapid identification of sources of interference and enhancing network reliability with real practical tools.
Contributing to the international digital strategy
Participating in the ITU Council 2025 event was not only a professional recognition but also a strategic networking opportunity. Attendance at the forum confirmed that the Hungarian IT sector can make a meaningful contribution to shaping the global digital future, based on its technological competences, regulatory experience and innovation capabilities.
We remain committed to developing systems and solutions that meet international standards and deliver real value in spectrum management, network management and digital infrastructure development.
