Spectrum planning processes establishes the direction and cohesion for policy formulation, supporting future steps to achieve optimal spectrum use and creating a conducive regulatory environment.

IMDA allocates the right to use spectrum in Singapore through different methods, including auctions and assignments. The method by which different frequency bands are allocated for use is determined by the demand for the band, the potential uses of the band, and other properties of the band.

Spectrum Rights confer upon their owners the right to use specific frequency bands in Singapore, and set out the requirements and terms and conditions of use. Spectrum Rights are issued by IMDA pursuant to allocation methods such as auctions, assignments and transfers.
