Unlicensed Spectrum

Unlicensed spectrum refers to specific radio frequency bands that anyone can use without needing a license from the government. This means individuals and companies can set up devices like Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth gadgets, and other wireless technologies without formal permissions. The idea is to encourage innovation and competition by allowing free access to these frequencies. However, because multiple users can operate in the same spectrum, they must follow rules to limit interference with each other, ensuring that devices work well without disrupting communications. Examples of unlicensed bands include the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz used for Wi-Fi.
