• The National Frequency Plan is prepared and issued in accordance with Articles 46 and 47 of the Federal Law by Decree No. 3 of 2003 regarding the Organization of Telecommunications Sector, as amended (the telecom law).

  The National Frequency Plan is prepared in conformity with the International Regulations governing radio spectrum and the international and regional agreements concluded or acceded to by the United Arab Emirates. It includes the provision for:

  1. The designation, on the recommendation of the authority, of bands of radio spectrum for the provision of Telecommunications services over telecommunications networks
  2. The amendment of allocations to existing users of radio spectrum to allow for the development of new services
  3. The reassignment of radio spectrum on expiry of existing licenses or authorizations relating thereto

  It is the regulatory policy for frequency spectrum, aimed at enhancing the efficiency and use of spectrum. TDRA allocates frequencies to all entities, governmental and non-governmental, civil or military, as well as individuals, in accordance with the National Spectrum Plan.

  A committee called the ‘Coordination Committee’ has the competency to draft a national plan for radio spectrum to ensure the efficient and proper use of radio spectrum without any interference or jamming. TDRA may request the committee, from time to time, to review and amend the plan when needed.
