Comms Connect NZ 2022 – Building Connections
Members of RSM attended this year’s Comms Connect conference held at Christchurch’s new Te Pae Conference Centre. Comms Connect was an excellent opportunity to connect with industry members, inform them about the work the team is doing to respond to industry needs, and hear first-hand the expectations and challenges that the industry is facing.
RSM also provided an update on its policy work program, the licensing and investigation results and projects, and the proposed radio engineering training.
It was such a pleasure to meet many of our licence holders face to face and to discuss matters within the radio spectrum landscape.
