Spectrum Considerations for Utilities
A focused session on technical and regulatory considerations for spectrum licensing and management in the utility sector.
Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how to evaluate and select spectrum for utility communications systems, including key performance factors such as coverage, capacity, throughput, and latency. The course will also address the differences between licensed and unlicensed spectrum, available frequency bands, and how to align spectrum strategy with utility operational needs.
