Something new in Spectrum Management Recent changes since the early 1990s Technical advances have enabled the emergence of new systems using radio networks (GSM, FWA, DVB-T, WiFi, WiMax...) These new systems are more complex and require more resources (sites, frequencies, etc.) then previous services Market deregulation has increased the number of players and has made necessary the establishment of strong and independent regulation authorities

Something new in Spectrum Management Consequently, new constraints have appeared : Limitations on resources such as Frequencies and sites, the use of which must be optimized The crowding of the spectrum is leading the Regulation Authorities to share the bands between a larger number of services The increasing interaction between the services calls for global management Information has to be controlled and shared between the different actors involved

Something new in Spectrum Management Spectrum Management is therefore becoming established as an activity on its own. Its purpose is To manage administrative procedures according to the national, regional or international regulations in force To optimize/facilitate resource sharing between radio services and players involved (private/public Operators, Regulation Authority, Foreign Administrations, ITU) To provide an updated and pertinent description of the spectrum, for both technical and administrative aspects To establish an efficient sharing and control of information
