SMA’s technical terms highlight new technologies and their impact on regulations. The usage of the spectrum can be optimised by technological means, taking into account the natural phenomenon of its capabilities and its constraints.
Facts
- Spectrum is used and not consumed.
- Spectrum is wasted if not optimally and efficiently used.
Optimal and efficient use of the spectrum is achieved by extensive frequency sharing with:
- Antenna directivity
- Geographical spacing
- Time sharing, etc.
Use of spectrum can also be optimised by employing better technologies, including spectrum efficient modulation techniques.
Among the main functions of the Spectrum Management Authority (SMA) are to ensure that the spectrum is used:
- Efficiently
- Economically
- Rationally
- Optimally
