Spurious emissions in the telecom industry refer to unintended radio frequency signals that can interfere with the proper functioning of communication systems. In the UK market, regulatory bodies such as Ofcom set strict limits on spurious emissions to ensure that telecom equipment complies with standards and does not cause harmful interference to other services. Manufacturers and operators are required to test and certify their equipment to meet these regulations before they can be deployed in the market. Failure to comply with spurious emissions limits can result in fines, equipment seizure, or even suspension of services. It is crucial for telecom companies in the UK to understand and mitigate spurious emissions to maintain a reliable and interference-free network for their customers.
