What you can explore
Six interactive chapters take you from the global market picture down to individual licence blocks, with filters for date, band, lifecycle, region and operator throughout.
Market view: See the global spectrum picture
- National and regional assignments by frequency band, band group and network generation.
- Country-wise spectrum holdings across low, mid and high band, benchmarked against regional averages.
- Recent assignments: what was awarded, where and in which band over the last 12 months.
Operator view: Benchmark any operator, anywhere
- Side-by-side comparisons: total assigned spectrum, band-by-band portfolios, connections and population coverage by technology.
- Operator deep dives with technology-wise portfolios and spectrum share by band group.
- Assigned spectrum blocks down to duplex type and uplink/downlink frequency ranges.
Assignment pipeline: Anticipate the next awards
- Planned assignments mapped by region and listed by country, band and bandwidth.
- Reported vs estimated dates, clearly flagged, with assignment type: auction, renewal or administrative award.
- Filter by band and region to build a forward view of upcoming auctions.
License lifescycle: Stay ahead of expiries and obligations
- Upcoming expiries mapped by quarter, with licence durations and extensions per operator and band.
- Expiry categories highlight what falls due within one, two or more years.
- Licence obligations by band and operator: coverage, quality of service, deployment and investment commitments.
Satellite and NTN: Follow the satellite opportunity
- Mobile satellite spectrum (MSS) assignments by country, player and band.
- Telco–satellite NTN partnerships: live and planned networks tracked by satellite player.
- Monitor the direct-to-device race across AST, Starlink, Lynk, SES/Intelsat and more.
Pricing trends: Put a price on every megahertz
- $/MHz/pop benchmarks by country, band and assignment year.
- Price-to-revenue ratios to gauge affordability across markets.
- Switch between historic, spot and PPP exchange-rate bases.
