Radio frequencies now and in the future

This publication is the first part of a series of publications on the current and future use of radio frequencies. The articles will provide the reader with a popularised overview of the utilisation of radio frequencies and the work that goes on in the background of these operations both in Finland and abroad. Come along and enjoy the exciting world of frequencies in 2023.

Communications networks and the radio frequencies that enable their operation form part of Finland’s critical infrastructure and act as the foundation on which our society must be able to rely on under normal circumstances as well as in disruptive and exceptional situations.

Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom is responsible for the frequency planning of mass communications in Finland, providing reliable frequencies for radio and television broadcasts. Traficom also serves as Finland’s primary radio and television licencing and media monitoring authority and the authority in charge of overseeing the accessibility of audio-visual content.
