About / History
Spectrum Bridge Inc. (SBI) is the company that developed SpecEx, the online marketplace for spectrum™. Spectrum Bridge made spectrum a tradable retail commodity via SpecEx, a real-time, online marketplace that enables spectrum owners and users to buy, sell and lease FCC licensed spectrum in a structured and transparent environment. SpecEx provides access to over $200 billion of spectrum value that the FCC has made eligible for secondary market transactions.
The company’s unique, patented technology has created a new paradigm for the efficient discovery, marketing and sale of spectrum for a range of markets and industries, including enterprises, utilities, transportation, public safety and government agencies, oil and gas producers, as well as wireless service providers, equipment manufacturers and other end-users.
To further showcase its spectrum management and mapping technologies to a broader audience, Spectrum Bridge developed and launched ShowMyWhiteSpace.com, a website where visitors can search for and find open TV channels (known as TV white space) available throughout the U.S.
Spectrum Bridge continually develops and commercializes technologies that make it easier to find, map, manage and transact licensed spectrum. The company has developed spectrum management, graphical information system (GIS) tools, databases, search agents and other proprietary software solutions that allow spectrum holders to better manage and monetize their FCC licensed frequencies. The development of SpecEx and other SBI products unlock more value and create additional revenue opportunities for thousands of legacy licensed spectrum owners, while enabling new networks and next generation applications using existing licensed spectrum.
Established in March 2007 by wireless networking industry veterans, Spectrum Bridge is headquartered in Lake Mary, Florida.
