the Centre garnered ₹77,814.80 large integer in revenues in spectrum auction. It exceeded the expectation as Telcos targeted on revitalising expiring spectrum and consolidating holdings in choose bands.

·       It is that the invisible radio frequencies (used for communication) that wireless signals travel over.

·       The frequencies we have a tendency to use for wireless square measure solely some of whats known as the spectrum (encompasses different frequencies we have a tendency to act with daily).

·       VIGBYOR represents colours that structure the visible a part of spectrum. different components of spectrum carry broadcast radio and tv or serve different everyday functions.

Spectrum wavelengths square measure classified into totally different bands at intervals the spectrum range:

a.     The entire electronic spectrum ranges from 3 Hz (extremely low frequency) to three hundred EHz (gamma rays). The portion used for wireless communication sits at intervals that house and ranges from concerning twenty kHz to three hundred gigacycle.

How will spectrum work?

b.    Different bands have slightly totally different characteristics. typically just in case of communication the spectrum is split in 3 categories: low, mid, and high-band spectrum.

a.    Low-band spectrum (under three GHz):Travels longer distances with nominal

2)       signal interruption. Most wireless networks square measure engineered totally on low-band

3)       spectrum, and therefore the wireless trade has used this spectrum to make high-speed

4)       wireless networks

a.     High-band spectrum (above twenty four GHz) travels abundant shorter distances (e., in meters), however offers high capability and ultra-fast speeds.

b.    Mid-band spectrum (between three and twenty four GHz) blends the characteristics of

5)       both low- and high-band spectrum—providing a combination of coverage and capability.

6)       These frequencies square measure transmitted between cell sites (cell towers) and our mobile devices.

Spectrum could be a finite resource and therefore its economical management through auction is required. The Union government through DoT owns all the in public accessible assets at intervals the geographical boundaries of the country, that additionally embody airwaves.
