On April 28, 2025, Mauritania published the final edition of its Tableau National d'Attribution des Bandes de Fréquences (TNAF), a comprehensive document regulating the allocation and use of radio frequencies across the country.
Issued by the Autorité de Régulation (Regulatory Authority), this document serves as the official guide for spectrum use in Mauritania, spanning from 8.3 kHz to 3000 GHz. Its primary objective is to ensure interference-free operation of radiocommunication services, aligning with international and regional frameworks.
The TNAF provides a detailed mapping of how frequency bands are distributed among services, contextualizing each allocation with three reference categories: International Allocations, National Allocations, and Service Applications and Observations. Key usage categories include fixed and mobile services, aeronautical and maritime navigation, broadcasting, and scientific and time signal services.
**WHOM DOES THIS IMPACT? **
The direct impact is on telecommunications operators, radiocommunication service users, the military and defense sector, researchers, and scientists.
**CONCLUSION: **
The update to the TNAF in Mauritania has a significant impact on the regulation of the radio frequency spectrum, benefiting multiple sectors and ensuring the efficient and secure operation of radiocommunication services in the country.
