Focusing on acquiring, possessing, establishing, and operating radio equipment, this law determines how radio spectrum is allocated, assigned, and used within Algeria. It details licensing regimes for radio stations or terminals, sets standards to prevent harmful interference, and defines authorized frequency usage.

The Act mandates that all radio transmissions adhere to the national frequency plan and that operators obtain proper permissions from a national frequencies agency.

Additionally, the law contemplates the classification of radio devices, enumerates potential sanctions for interfering with vital communications (defence, safety, etc.), and promotes efficient use of the spectrum through robust oversight, thus ensuring clarity, security, and order in the domain of radiocommunications.
