Spectrum Policy

Spectrum policy encompasses the rules and regulations governing the use and management of radio frequencies—the electromagnetic spectrum—used for wireless communications like TV, radio, mobile phones, and Wi-Fi. It aims to ensure these frequencies are allocated efficiently, avoid interference, promote fair access, and encourage technological innovation. Governments and agencies coordinate spectrum use to balance the needs of various users, such as public safety, industry, and consumers. Effective spectrum policy helps maximize the benefits of wireless technology while maintaining reliable and safe communication services across society.
