Overview
Senegal (Sénégal), officially the Republic of Senegal, is a country in West Africa. Senegal is bordered by Mauritania in the north, Mali to the east, Guinea to the southeast, and Guinea-Bissau to the southwest. Senegal also borders The Gambia, a country occupying a narrow sliver of land along the banks of the Gambia River.
Senegal is a member of the ITU and as such follows radio frequency harmonisation principles according to ITU-R Region-1. The regulatory body governing communications policy is the Ministère de la Communication, des Télécommunications, des Postes et de l'Economie numérique, and the Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications et des Postes (ARTP) is charged with regulating the country's radio frequency spectrum activities such as planning, allocations, and licencing.
