frekvensallokeringsplanen

Frekvensallokeringsplanen, or frequency allocation plan, is a regulatory framework that governs the use of radio frequencies within a specific country or region. It is established by national regulatory authorities, such as the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) in Sweden, and is designed to ensure efficient and harmonious use of the radio spectrum. The plan outlines which frequencies are allocated to different services, such as broadcasting, mobile communications, satellite communications, and various other applications.

The primary objective of a frequency allocation plan is to prevent interference between different services and users. This is achieved by assigning specific frequency bands to particular services and by setting rules for the maximum allowable power levels and other technical parameters. The plan also includes provisions for the sharing of frequencies between different services, where possible, to maximize the efficient use of the spectrum.

Frequency allocation plans are periodically reviewed and updated to accommodate new technologies and services. They are typically based on international agreements and recommendations, such as those made by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), to ensure compatibility and interoperability on a global scale.

In Sweden, the PTS is responsible for managing the frequency allocation plan. It works closely with other regulatory bodies, industry stakeholders, and the public to ensure that the plan meets the needs of the country's telecommunications infrastructure and services. The plan is a crucial tool for maintaining the integrity and reliability of Sweden's radio communications systems.
