Spectrum Usage Database
Users can avoid the expense, time and effort of building their own spectrum monitoring network by accessing the CRFS Spectrum Usage Database, using data collected from fixed and mobile spectrum monitoring systems installed by CRFS and by our partners worldwide.
- Data is made available on either a subscription or on-demand basis, with pricing dependent on:
- Time window
- Geographical coverage
- Frequency band(s) of interest
- Degree of data analysis provided (e.g. statistical analysis by geography, date, etc.)
- Reporting level (summary, detailed, performance against specific key metrics/KPIs, etc.)
If the database does not currently support a specific area of interest, customers may commission a specific survey to be performed. Contact us for more information.
Access to the database is through the CRFS web-based access portal. By accessing the CRFS Spectrum Usage Database, users can gain access to an extensive, constantly evolving source of spectrum data to support their deployment planning and other decision making.
