PRIMARY

300 GHz“Selected Points of Interest” are based on popular allocation applications, and may not be exhaustive or applicable for all nations.

This chart represents a single point in time of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) worldwide spectral allocations summarized after the World Radio Congress (WRC-19) and published in 2020.

As such, it does not completely reflect all aspects such as footnotes and recent changes. Users should always consult their national regulatory body for current allocations.

This chart does not differentiate between Co-PRIMARY and Secondary allocations. Allocations are listed from top to bottom in the order they appear in the Radio Regulations Articles Edition of 2020. Horizontal scale has been exaggerated on some very narrow bands for readability.
