RF spectrum is the most valuable commodity in the wireless market – the wireless equivalent of real estate.

Government agencies and private companies developing, using, or selling communications systems and services must be certain their systems are compatible with national and international frequency assignments.

It not only provides rigorous engineering analysis of the properties and availability of key radio bands, but also interprets complex FCC and ITU regulations
