Successful information evening by RDI, Douane CN, and Chamber of Commerce Bonaire
Recently, the Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI), in collaboration with Douane CN and the Bonaire Chamber of Commerce, organized a successful information session at the Chamber of Commerce.
During the event, the staff from the RDI and Douane CN were introduced. The attendees then received important information on topics such as the import and use of radio transmitting equipment in the Caribbean Netherlands. The RDI explained the types of interference that certain radio transmitters can cause and what consumers should be aware of when purchasing devices such as security cameras, baby monitors, and weather stations.
Douane CN provided a detailed explanation of its primary tasks, the regulations concerning telecommunications, customs procedures and its operating methods.
The RDI plays an executive and supervisory role in the field of telecommunications for Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba. From its office in Bonaire, the staff manages the radio frequency spectrum for the three islands by assigning frequencies, monitoring them, and conducting inspections. The public can turn to the RDI for information on approved radio transmitting equipment, frequency use licenses, radio operator exams, the import of radio transmitters and interference caused by or affecting radio equipment.
In the coming year, the RDI will also organize information sessions on Saba and Sint Eustatius.
