Overview
The Directorate of Spectrum Management plays a vital role in regulating and optimizing the use of radio frequencies across the country. It ensures that the limited spectrum resource is allocated fairly and efficiently to support a wide range of communication services, including broadcasting, mobile networks, satellite, and emergency services.
By establishing and enforcing technical standards, the directorate minimizes harmful interference that can disrupt essential services or pose risks to public safety. It conducts regular spectrum monitoring and inspection activities to detect unauthorized usage and enforce compliance with licensing conditions.
The directorate also supports innovation by ensuring new technologies can be introduced without compromising existing systems. It works closely with international bodies to harmonize spectrum use and adopt best practices in line with global standards.
Through transparent spectrum planning, licensing, and coordination, the directorate contributes to the growth of the ICT sector and helps maintain a reliable communication environment for government, business, and the public.
