Spectrum Research In 2017, EWA conducted 150% more spectrum analyses than in the previous year, indicating the growing importance of preliminary spectrum research to support expansive wireless projects. Much of the spectrum research during the year has been for large, often statewide projects.
Coordination Capabilities To keep pace with changes in FCC regulations that affect coordination of licenses for Business/Industrial Land Transportation and Public-Safety licenses, EWA makes regular updates to its proprietary software systems. In 2017, EWA: •
Improved 800/900 MHz application processing capabilities and incorporated additional analytical requirements in anticipation of the release of 800 MHz Expansion and Guard Band and 800 MHz interstitial channels.
•
Automated short-spacing analytical tools for all eligible segments in the 800/900 MHz spectrum band.
•
Integrated 800/900 MHz coordination analysis software with Cevo.
Spectrum Equity EWA’s subsidiary Spectrum Equity, Inc. (SEI) holds several licenses for spectrum in the 220 MHz band. During 2017, SEI executed an agreement for the sale of 10 5-kHz paired channels of this spectrum and continues to manage several long-term spectrum leases.
