The National Broadband Plan states that an additional 500 megahertz of spectrum will be made available for broadband services over the next ten years.  Spectrum Bridge remains uniquely positioned to provide the technology and solutions that can help realize the vision of the National Broadband Plan with alternative approaches to spectrum management.

The development of our latest spectrum sharing solution, UDIA, the UNII Device Interference Advisor, demonstrates how spectrum databases can help maximize the utilization of spectrum by reducing potential interference issues between unlicensed wireless devices. The launch of UDIA marks the second database powered by Spectrum Bridge in the last two years, with the first database developed to provide detailed information on the availability of the unlicensed spectrum, TV White Spaces.   

In a recently released whitepaper, Intelligent Spectrum Management by Andrew Seybold, a mobile wireless industry analyst and consultant, he states, “the central database approach to spectrum management has broad application beyond TV White Space. The underlying database architecture can evolve to support a new generation of dynamic networks for both licensed and unlicensed spectrum.”

Spectrum Bridge continues to demonstrate the evolving database architecture through the use of databases to allocate and monitor the use of spectrum more efficiently. The concept of Intelligent Spectrum Management can help provide alternative solutions to the spectrum scarcity issue facing the wireless industry.
