Spectrum

Analysys Mason has been instrumental in shaping spectrum strategy and policy, working with industry, regulators and policy makers across the world.

Our spectrum experts have been advising operators and regulators on spectrum licensing since the first use of auctions to assign mobile spectrum, and have been instrumental in guiding many of the 3G, 4G and 5G spectrum auctions that have taken place worldwide since then. We have developed spectrum roadmaps for future products and services, and for business growth on behalf of broadcasters, fixed telecoms and satellite companies and wireless product developers. We have created robust strategies for innovative applications such as private wireless networks.

Our advice provides clarity and direction in an increasingly complex wireless market – helping clients navigate changing market structures, competitive landscapes, emerging technologies and alternative approaches for spectrum usage and licensing.
