The planning of frequency bands represents an essential mechanism to preserve the rights of all member states willing to have a fair access to the limited radio resources (the radio frequencies spectrum and the geostationary satellite orbit). In fact, the national planning process is inspired from the international planning (the frequencies allocation table or the global plans) and from regional planning (the regional plans).

In order to, successfully, handle the spectrum planning, it is necessary, on the one hand, to notify any allocation of frequencies and on the other hand to coordinate these allocations in order to secure the smooth functioning of all departments using such allocations.
