Radio spectrum is a scarce national resource, therefore there is a limited number of frequencies which can be used to provide radio services. EETT is responsible for managing the radio spectrum, with the exception of state networks. The goal is to achieve optimal use of the radio spectrum by as many users as possible and minimize the occurrence of interferences which may harm the uninterrupted provision of wireless communications.
Radio spectrum rights of use are required for certain radio spectrum bands. In any case, the radio equipment used must comply with specific operating conditions, even where the radio spectrum is used under a license exempt regime. An example of a radio communication system operating under such a regime is WiFi.
A table with the licensing regime for each radio frequency band/individual radio frequency can be found in the relevant Regulation issued by EETT.
EETT keeps a national frequency register, in which the full technical specifications of radio spectrum use of any kind at national level are registered. Furthermore, it uses this information to conduct technical studies to ensure uninterrupted operation for both current and future users of radio spectrum, without any harmful interference.
For radio spectrum rights of use granted by EETT, spectrum fees are provided for in accordance with Union and national laws.
EETT recently launched the Spectrum Management Information System, SMS, a modern and specialized information system.
The SMS Web Portal is the platform for online access to SMS for the holders of radio spectrum usage rights and for those interested in submitting requests for granting radio spectrum usage rights. The SMS Web Portal supports all relevant requests and procedures for the management of the radio spectrum usage rights and of the related fees.
EETT is not responsible for granting radio spectrum rights of use for state networks. Furthermore, it is not within its responsibilities the granting/amending of radio spectrum rights of use for the broadcasting service of radio stations.

Networks where all radio communication stations are fixed, such as fixed links between two points (point-to-point) or between one point and multiple points (point-to-multipoint).
