spectrum licensing

Spectrum licensing refers to the process of allocating specific frequencies of electromagnetic spectrum for various uses, such as communications, broadcasting, and wireless services. Governments grant licenses to companies and organizations to use these frequencies to avoid interference and ensure efficient operation. The licenses typically specify the frequency range, geographical area, and timeframe for use. By regulating this spectrum, authorities can manage how different services coexist and provide reliable communication options for consumers, businesses, and emergency services. This is crucial for maintaining organized access to the radio waves that power much of our technology today.
