1. A computer-implemented method executed by data processing hardware that causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at an automated frequency coordination (AFC) system, a geofence request from a mobile AFC device, the geofence request requesting to use a licensed radio frequency band and comprising one or more operating parameters for the AFC device;
determining, by the AFC system, whether any of the one or more operating parameters interfere with any licensed devices on the licensed radio frequency band;
when none of the one or more operating parameters interfere with any of the licensed devices on the licensed radio frequency band, generating, by the AFC system, based on the one or more operating parameters, a geofence defining an operating boundary of a geographic area within which the AFC device may move while communicating using the licensed radio frequency band; and
communicating, from the AFC system to the AFC device, a response to the geofence request, the response comprising the geofence generated by the AFC system.
