Frequency Management
Increasing demand for radio spectrum, both from traditional
applications and new, innovative services is placing unprecedented
pressure on the management of this vital resource. Aegis has been
actively involved in frequency management at both national and
international levels for over a decade.
Frequency management is the process of deciding which services
may use which parts of the spectrum. Internationally, this process
takes place at three main levels, namely the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) at global level, the Conference of
European Post and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) at the
European level, and individual national regulatory authorities (NRAs).
Aegis has a long track record of supporting both regulators and
industry in frequency management.
Frequency management is necessary to facilitate co-existence
between different radio services and to protect vulnerable
non-commercial uses (such as radio astronomers) from interference.
However, both ITU and CEPT are becoming increasingly proactive in
promoting new services and technologies on a harmonised
international basis, to derive greater economic and social benefits
from the radio spectrum. It is therefore increasingly important for
those in the radiocommunications field to be aware of – and to
influence – developments in these fora.
