Reclaim. Refactor. Reinvent: Aircom’s Approach to Spectrum Farming
Aircom’s consulting services provide a holistic, data-driven strategy to reallocate spectrum safely and efficiently. Our methodology includes:
- Network Inventory & Usage Analysis: We assess current 2G/3G utilization, device compatibility, and traffic distribution to identify low-risk spectrum candidates.
- Impact Assessment & Simulation: Using real-traffic data and historical KPIs, we simulate refarming scenarios and model the impact on existing subscribers and services.
- Optimization & Planning: Our team ensures a seamless migration plan—minimizing disruption and aligning with ongoing 4G/5G rollout strategies.
- Stakeholder Coordination: We help coordinate across engineering, regulatory, and commercial teams to streamline the implementation process.
