Proceedings of ITU Kaleidoscope Academic Conferences
2024  New!  

Kaleidoscope 2024 took place on 21-23 October in collocation with the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA-24) in New Delhi, India. The theme of Kaleidoscope 2024: Innovation and digital transformation for a sustainable world captures the ongoing global efforts to harness the power of technology for positive and sustainable change. These proceedings of the conference contain 56 papers that were selected by the Technical Programme Committee on the basis of double-blind reviews, with the help of over 70 subject matter experts from leading academic and research institutions worldwide; one keynote summary and two invited paper that were peer-reviewed by the Kaleidoscope 2024 Steering Committee. These original contributions present research on how technologies can drive positive change, particularly in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Kaleidoscope 2024 highlights the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in shaping a more sustainable future. The conference underscores how ICTs can address societal challenges, from reducing energy consumption to improving digital inclusivity, by enabling global connectivity and fostering digital ecosystems that are environmentally and socially sustainable.

Earthing and Bonding
2003   Publication Notice with Order Form

This ITU-T Handbook on Earthing and Bonding is for use by engineers designing telecommunication systems, especially those concerned with applying protective measures. It aims to give the user a background to various terms used within the telecommunication and power industry regarding earthing and bonding of equipment and structures (Chapter 1) in various parts of the world. The concepts of earthing and bonding are described (Chapter 2) together with how to implement such methods (Chapters 3 and 4), detailing why these are necessary and what the results may be if they are not performed correctly. The final section of the handbook shows how to evaluate and maintain the effectiveness/quality of the earthing systems and bonding networks thus created.
