Guinea

Overview

Guinea, officially the Republic of Guinea, is a country on the western coast of Africa. Formerly known as French Guinea, the modern country is sometimes referred to as Guinea-Conakry in order to distinguish it from other parts of the wider region of the same name, such as Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea. Guinea shares its northern border with Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, and Mali, and its southern border with Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Ivory Coast.

Guinea is a member of the ITU and as such follows radio frequency harmonisation principles according to ITU-R Region-1. The regulatory body governing communications policy is the Ministère des Postes, des Télécommunications et de l’Economie Numérique, and the Autorité de Régulation des Postes et Télécommunications (ARPT) is charged with regulating the country's radio frequency spectrum activities such as planning, allocations, and licencing.
