Wireless Spectrum Management: Policies, Practices, and Conditioning Factors (Telecom Engineering)

RF spectrum is the most valuable commodity in the wireless market - the wireless equivalent of real estate. Without the necessary spectrum - and the skills to manage it - companies cannot hope to compete in the brave new world of wireless services. 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. This is a practical planning guide for any operation offering or planning to offer wireless, clearly explaining the technical, regulatory, and legal aspects of spectrum use. It not only provides rigorous engineering analysis of the properties and availability of key radio bands, but also interprets complex FCC and ITU regulations
