UHF spectrum

November 2015

Landmark decision by the ITU’s World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15) on the use of the UHF band

Representatives of over 150 governments took the decision that UHF spectrum will remain exclusively allocated to terrestrial TV services in ITU “Region 1″* well into the next decade. Delegates reached this conclusion after deliberations over whether the lower UHF frequency band (470-694 MHz) should be retained for broadcasting only or also allocated to mobile broadband.
