The Spectrum Monitoring Section supports the continuity of telecommunications services and safeguards the spectrum environment by carrying out regulatory and technical field monitoring functions. The Section conducts studies on frequency band availability for future services, coexistence studies for wireless services sharing the same bands, and analyses of received signal strength levels to enable coexistence among mobile networks, particularly in cases involving cross-border interference. The Section is responsible for receiving and analyzing harmful interference that disrupts services, and for developing and implementing field operation plans in coordination with relevant entities. It also develops monitoring plans for electromagnetic emissions and performs field measurements and surveys to verify licensees’ compliance with safety standards, while monitoring cross-border networks originating outside the UAE. In addition, It  plays an operational role in securing major events by protecting telecommunications systems from interference and jamming. It monitors spectrum users’ compliance with international agreements and coordinates with authorized entities and neighboring countries to implement corrective actions when required. The Section also handles customer complaints, participates in technical tests and trials, international study groups, and related global events. Its responsibilities further include inspecting compliance with technical standards, maintaining spectrum monitoring systems, developing and implementing business continuity plans, assessing risks, and studying and enhancing frequency monitoring systems to address emerging wireless applications.
