Spectrum
Spectrum refers to electromagnetic spectrum – the resource that allows us to send wireless signals. Most electronic devices we use today, including smartphones, satellites, tablets, televisions, radio and radars rely on spectrum frequencies to carry information. We advise the Australian Government about how this scarce resource can be managed effectively and efficiently.
