Spectrum management is the process of controlling how radio frequencies are used in order to encourage effective utilization and reap social benefits. The entire frequency range from 1 Hz to 3000 GHz (3 THz), which may be used for wireless communication, is often referred to as the radio spectrum. Spectrum management practices have to alter as a result of rising demand for services like mobile phones and many others. Due to technological advancements like 3G and 4G mobile services and the quick growth of wireless internet services, demand for wireless broadband has skyrocketed.
