Dynamic Spectrum ManagementUnleashing the potential of the Internet of Things

@adamhleach

Demand is outstripping supply for radio spectrum

11

• Global internet traffic is expected to triple over the next 5 years

• Majority of traffic coming from wireless devices such as smartphones and Internet of Things devices

• The wireless spectrum that enables this connectivity is already in short supply

• At this rate demand for spectrum over the next decade will outstrip supply if current licensing model is maintained

“Dynamic Spectrum Management refers to technologies that enable radio

communications devices to opportunistically transmit on available

radio spectrum.”

“These technologies and techniques ensure that devices have wireless

bandwidth when and where they need it.”

How does it work?
