Mohamed Nasser Al Ghanim, Director General of the TRA commented on the meeting saying: "holding such bilateral satellite coordination meetings to coordinate the frequencies with the neighbouring countries is one of the vital tools that prevent the frequencies interference with the Iranian side.”
Al Ghanim explained that the results of this coordination meeting were satisfactory where satellite service providers from both the Emirati and the Iranian Administrations can gather to discuss the best available solutions to prevent interference between both sides.
