10 Ways to meet OPEX & CAPEX Challenges

When planning and managing spectrum frequencies, the tasks are endless: monitoring interference, policing infringements, issuing fines, accommodating new technological applications, maintaining IoT, and ensuring national defense and security. Not only is your schedule busy, but you are constantly being asked to do more with less – replacing redundant systems, investing in infrastructure monitoring, transitioning away from hand-held analyzers, systemizing and automating monitoring, addressing new technology (5G, 6G), and harmonization and new capacity planning as discussed at the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference. Here are ten things spectrum regulators can do to address OPEX and CAPEX challenges when finances are limited. The key to each one is investing in the right RF hardware and software to maximize efficiency and ensure the agency’s longevity.
