Spectrum IT Modernization
Spectrum needs continue to grow both internationally and domestically across industry and government at an exponential rate. With the emergence of 5G and 6G networks (and beyond), the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and new models of spectrum sharing, a host of technological and policy solutions must be embraced to succeed in this rapidly evolving environment.
FTI professionals have a long history with information technology (IT) systems used to manage federal government spectrum use, and FTI experience working with government clients extends to a wide variety of such systems. Government and commercial clients alike rely on FTI lawyers, government affairs experts, policy specialists, and engineers with deep knowledge of federal spectrum regulations and the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations. This understanding is used to advise clients how they can best utilize spectrum including on a shared basis between commercial and federal government users.
- FTI professionals offer a range of support including identifying requirements, reengineering business processes, modeling data schemas to supporting design, and building and testing new IT capabilities.
- Several members of the FTI team have worked to process key spectrum assignments and certifications on systems used by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
- FTI’s policy team works with key government stakeholders to understand and communicate a vision for how spectrum automation and data will be used to meet 21st century federal agency mission needs.
