Policy, Spectrum & Industry Engagement
As an organization, WBA aims to influence regulatory bodies to improve Wi-Fi (more spectrum, better security and user experience) via regulatory engagement, but also by developing new spectrum sharing and network mechanisms to improve spectrum usage.
Coordinated Shared Spectrum
Policymakers and regulators are moving to introduce new models for spectrum management that would provide coordinated use of shared spectrum. A key objective of these programs is to provide conditional access to portions of spectrum with varying levels of priority based upon status (e.g. incumbents, priority users, general users).
This program is evaluating both the business models that will be supported by Coordinated Shared Spectrum management regimes and subsequent pre-commercial trials.
