Spectrum

We support operators and regulators in managing, buying or selling a key telecoms resource.

We support operators to understand their spectrum needs, value spectrum and bid in auctions. Our consultants have supported bidders in over 60 spectrum awards worldwide.

We also assist regulators in developing spectrum policy, awarding spectrum and setting spectrum fees. Our consultants have conducted several high-profile spectrum-related studies for regulators such as the European Commission, Ofcom (UK) and the IDA (Singapore).
