What’s in the air? Find out with the FCC’s Spectrum Dashboard

The FCC has unveiled a neat new web-based tool called the Spectrum Dashboard, which is currently in a public beta. Ever wondered what all the bands were allocated for? Wondering what’s outside of the amateur radio or public safety bands? This can tell you. You can also plot licensees in any given area in the United States on an interactive map. This tool could be potentially useful especially for scanner hobbyists that want to find something new.

From the website:

The Spectrum Dashboard provides a public means of reviewing how spectrum bands are allocated and for what uses, and who holds licenses and in what areas. The beta version provides basic, plain language information about frequencies generally deemed appropriate for mobile broadband (225 MHz to 3700 MHz.) In addition, the beta version of the Spectrum Dashboard contains more detailed information, mapping, and research capabilities for the bands where broadband service is either already available, or potentially could be provided.
