Frequency assignments

Use of the frequency spectrum for communications is subject to an application process and the assignment of frequencies. Examples are:

• Sound and television broadcasting
• Mobile communications
• Mobile telephone systems

Some frequency bands are meant for a service without separate assignments to individual users e.g.:

• Maritime and aeronautical communications
• Radioamateur communications
• CB, GSM, CT1, PMR446 (See table below)
• Low Power Devices (Short Range Devices) (See SRD table)

See the ERC/REC/70-03 Recommendation relating to Short Range Devices (SRD) that applies in Iceland.
