Spectrum Allocation

Challenges:

A diverse range of industry sectors rely on radio spectrum to manage their day – to – day operations. Broadcasters, service providers, government departments, transport authorities, emergency services and utility companies all use radio access and transmission spectrum and it is inevitable that demand on this resource will continue to grow in the future. Spectrum is a finite resource and allocating more spectrum for some services will require the re-allocation of spectrum from other uses. As mobile traffic continues to grow the availability of sufficient, appropriate, spectrum remains a key component in the delivery of LTE and 5G capacity. New frequency bands that are being made available have their own characteristics and these need to be understood and matched to future business needs

Solution:

Cyberteq end to end Spectrum Allocation consultancy service supports operators developing their spectrum strategy which can then be used to inform the appropriate decision making for current and future investment in spectrum. The detailed analysis for the Spectrum Allocation consultancy service part will include analysis of the following:

Current / Planned Traffic. (using network KPIs, anticipated organic growth)
Data and Voice Traffic Forecast. (using historical network information, national and global trends, the current business strategy)
Review of available Radio & Transmission Spectrum.
Backhaul Current / Planned Capacity. (analysis of current capacities and opportunities to optimize)
Radio / Transmission current / planned equipment. (analysis of equipment capabilities and opportunities to optimize)

Results:

Cyberteq will present a detailed report for the Spectrum Allocation consultancy service with an executive summary, typically covering the following topics:

Clear recommendations guiding the right decision by clearly showing the “right” spectrum for the “right” technology.
Identify opportunities for the optimisation of the existing equipment based on traffic and geographical location.
Provide cost – benefit assessments for the different spectrum band scenarios.
Highlight potential areas of poor customer experience caused by interference (external and/or internal) caused by deficient spectrum allocation.
