Beachfront spectrum

Definition
Beachfront spectrum refers to highly valued frequency spectrum.

Wireless
For many mobile radio systems, the 300 MHz to 3 GHz spectrum range is the portion of the spectrum where scarcity concerns are the greatest. However, for some industry representatives, the “beachfront” spectrum is larger, located anywhere between 100 MHz to 6 GHz. As spectrum­ dependent technologies improve over time, the definition of high-­value spectrum can change.
