Radiodomenet

Radiodomenet is a term used in telecommunications and radio engineering to refer to the spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies allocated for radio wave propagation. This spectrum is a finite resource and is managed internationally by organizations like the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to prevent interference between different radio services and to ensure efficient use.

The radiodomenet is divided into various frequency bands, each with specific characteristics and applications. Lower frequencies, such as those used for AM broadcasting, can travel long distances and penetrate obstacles well, but have limited bandwidth. Higher frequencies, like those used for Wi-Fi or satellite communication, offer much greater bandwidth for data transmission but have shorter ranges and are more easily blocked by physical objects.

Radio services are categorized within the radiodomenet. These include broadcasting (AM/FM radio, television), mobile communications (cellular networks), satellite communications, amateur radio, aviation and maritime navigation, and scientific applications like radio astronomy. Each service is assigned specific frequency ranges and operates under regulatory frameworks to ensure orderly operation and to avoid harmful interference. The allocation and management of the radiodomenet are crucial for the functioning of modern communication systems and technologies.
