The Industry / Overview



Unlicensed Users Need a Licensed Experience


Limited access to licensed spectrum due to cost and availability has in the past prevented network operators, service providers, and wireless application providers from offering high quality services to customers. Unlicensed spectrum is frequently compromised by interference from other users which negatively impacts the wireless services that carriers and wireless network operators provide to their customers. SpecEx, an online marketplace for buying and selling spectrum, gives virtually any wireless spectrum user the opportunity to obtain licensed spectrum to eliminate this problem.


LICENSED SPECTRUM = BETTER SERVICES



Creating entirely new Revenue Streams from Licensed Spectrum


Recent FCC policy changes and secondary market initiatives puts license holders in a unique and lucrative position in the spectrum industry. Disaggregation & Partitioning methods enable license holders to create new business opportunities for maximizing the ROI of their spectrum assets. SpecEx allows license holders to offer any amount of spectrum, where and when they want to a nationwide audience of buyers.



Leveling the Playing Field


Until recently, obtaining licensed spectrum through FCC auctions and secondary market purchases was a costly and time consuming process which only few companies could afford to participate in. This created an environment where a wide range of spectrum is sitting idle because these few participants couldn’t utilize it and there was no cost effective way for the majority of the wireless market to obtain it.


Empowering all the Wireless Players


SpecEx gives all size entities the purchasing power needed to obtain licensed spectrum. As more and more license holders offer their spectrum for lease or sale, a wide range of players now take a key role in shaping the demand side of the equation. By giving the vast majority of wireless related companies the access to licensed spectrum, their demand can impact how licensed spectrum is valuated and utilized now and in the future.
