Overview
Spectrum management requires knowledge of an unusually wide range of disciplines: engineering, economics, law, policy and regulation. It is also a field where accepted practices are changing rapidly. In recognition of this the course has been fully updated for 2012.
Technological developments mean increasing demand for spectrum for an ever widening range of applications. This has resulted in a growing pressure to replace traditional technical approaches to spectrum management with a more market-orientated approach.
This course delivers the essential technical foundations needed to support modern spectrum management while bringing attendees up to speed with the latest thinking in economics, law and policymaking. 100% of those who have attended this course would recommend it to their colleagues.
