Highlights from the MENA Spectrum Management Conference
The global conversation on spectrum sharing continues to evolve, as underscored in the latest coverage by Communications Daily following the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Spectrum Management Conference held in Bahrain. The event gathered regulators and industry leaders from across the region to examine innovative strategies for maximizing spectrum efficiency.
Among the key contributors was Dynamic Spectrum Alliance President, Dr. Martha Suárez, who emphasized the importance of embracing a balanced spectrum framework. In her remarks, she stated:
“For the ITU’s International Mobile Telecommunications-2030 initiative to be successful, it can’t just focus on licensed spectrum.”
Dr. Suárez highlighted the significant progress made in shared spectrum access—pointing to milestones such as Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) deployments in the U.S. and growing interest in the 6 GHz band—as proof of the tangible benefits spectrum sharing delivers in terms of innovation, affordability, and inclusivity.
At the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance, we remain committed to advancing regulatory frameworks that enable dynamic access to spectrum. We believe that enabling a range of licensing models—including unlicensed and shared access—is essential for meeting rising connectivity demands, particularly in underserved regions.
