Telecom and radio services companies: new regulation for frequency band and spectrum attribution
Technical details
Summary
Order TDF/732/2026 approves the new National Frequency Attribution Table, replacing Order ETD/1449/2021. This regulation defines the attribution of bands, sub-bands, frequencies, and channels for radio communication services in Spain, incorporating provisions from the 2023 World Radiocommunication Conference. The text allows for spectrum reservation for specific services, the delimitation of bands for Public Administrations, and the setting of spectrum limits per holder to prevent hoarding and promote competition.
In 3 key points
- Replacement of the previous National Frequency Allocation Table (Order ETD/1449/2021) (Exordio)
- Possibility of setting per-licensee spectrum limits to prevent overallocation and promote competition (art. 6.e)
- Reservation of bands and frequencies for direct public authorities' service management (art. 6.c)
How it affects those involved
The regulation sets technical rules for spectrum use, imposes per-licensee spectrum limits to prevent overallocation and promote competition, and reserves bands for public authorities' direct service management, aligning with international UIT and CEPT standards.
