NEW: You can now apply pending applications to spectrum screens, providing a more accurate picture of the screen. Previously, spectrum screens relied solely on the snapshot of spectrum ownership nationally. Now, you can apply pending applications to simulate the state of the spectrum landscape assuming the application goes through. For example, there are currently two assignments of authorization with T-Mobile assigning to SoniqWave. When running a spectrum screen involving T-Mobile, we can apply these applications, which now removes those licenses from TM holdings and adds it to SoniqWave’s holdings. T-Mobile will have less 3.45 GHz spectrum in the screen as a result. We will soon be adding this to the Portfolio page as well so you can, for example, compare the T-Mobile portfolio before and after the UScellular transaction. Likewise, you could run a similar query on the UScellular portfolio. Let us know what you think!

NEW: The Airwave Research Daily Digest Keeping an eye on the spectrum landscape is now easier than ever! Starting today, all Airwave Research users can opt-in to receive the Daily Digest. The Daily Digest email includes a feed of major applications from the previous day, including assignments of authorization, transfers of control, and new leases. And each application links to the ULS and the Airwave Research platform if you need more context. Let us know what you think!

NEW: Geofenced queries! You can now search and analyze spectrum holdings over precise geographic areas. Geofencing can be either static (using FIPS code lists) or dynamic (generated from the footprints of other operators). Geofenced queries enable users to ask critical questions often posed when evaluating potential transactions, such as: - "What 3.45 GHz spectrum does AT&T own in the areas where Blue Ridge Wireless also owns 3.45 GHz?" - "Who are the top spectrum owners in Carolina West Wireless's footprint?" We are excited to see the industry leverage this feature for smarter, data-driven decision-making.

NEW: Our advisor Steven Stravitz wrote a white paper on spectrum valuation, released today! The paper discusses the various factors that make spectrum valuable, from physical characteristics like frequency and capacity to regulatory requirements, market concentration, and the strategic advantages of spectrum ownership. The framework outlined in the paper is applied in the Airwave Research Valuation module, which you can request access to here: https://lnkd.in/eb2i4VzU To get the paper, please visit: https://lnkd.in/emTA-x46

Starting today, Airwave Research users can generate spectrum screen exhibits in minutes. Define your transaction scenario, click export and then “Exhibit for FCC review,” and you’ll have the Excel in your email inbox before your coffee’s ready. We’ve modeled the format on past FCC filings, so it’s easy to attach in an appendix for use in public interest arguments. Anyone who has gone through this process knows how time-consuming it can be. Not anymore!

We are thrilled to announce that Airwave Research now offers a National Spectrum Grid Excel as part of a license. This is available for both our 3-month and 1-year licenses. Reasons why this is the best spectrum grid on the market: - Complete grid showing holder of spectrum (owner or lessee) for each county and block - Lightweight (about 7mb) and fast - Updated Daily - Low, mid, and high bands in one export - Direct links to the Airwave Research platform to pull up data about licenses, bands, and counties instantly - Bands are organized by how they are used (3GPP if applicable) - County rows include information about the county including population, area, and cross-reference to all FCC boundaries (PEA, CMA, etc.) - Block columns include information about NR band overlap, frequencies, and whether the block is uplink, downlink, or both Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dnPxr9MG

We are thrilled to announce our Applications module! This module enables users to seamlessly and quickly filter over ULS applications by file number, common name, call signs, any boundary (PEA, BEA, county, etc), application purpose, status, and dates. It intelligently parses application data to build comprehensible titles and descriptions that people can actually understand. With this new module and dataset, Airwave customers will gain access to spectrum insights that were nearly impossible to obtain before. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d3MS4fVm

The Airwave team has started developing a product to help regulatory firms, operators, and investors more easily interact with ULS applications. If you are an attorney or know an attorney who may be interested in using this product once released and potentially helping us drive the roadmap, please reach out to zev [at] airwaveresearch.com. We will be respectful of your time!

We’ve just released the first version of our Potential Impairments module. Now, you can easily identify how many MHz-Pop's fall under coordination or exclusion zones directly on the Portfolio Explorer. Explore detailed information on the 3.45 GHz, Coordination Zones, and Quiet Zones pages to see which areas and frequencies are affected. This update aims to help operators and investors better navigate regulatory requirements and optimize their operations. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gT_AHxfu

We recently launched the second generation of the Airwave Portfolio Explorer, which is now available to Airwave customers. This update includes two new features: - Valuation Section: Estimate and visualize the value of any portfolio. - Bulk Call Sign Search: Perform efficient searches by call sign.
