What Is Frequency Coordination?

Direct Answer:
Frequency coordination is the process of selecting and approving radio frequencies to ensure they can be used without causing interference to existing licensed systems. It is required by the FCC for most Part 90 applications.

What a Coordinator Does

  • Searches available spectrum
  • Performs engineering studies
  • Recommends frequencies
  • Certifies compliance to the FCC

Why It Exists
Without coordination, the spectrum would be unusable. It keeps systems from interfering with each other.
