Explore Spectrum Ownership

Airwave Portfolio Explorer
"What AWS-4 spectrum does Dish own in New York?"

See what any company owns and leases. Apply filters across geography, frequency, and lease status to get instant metrics, heat maps, licenses, and charts showing holdings across bands.

Holdings are aggregated across registered legal entities to provide detailed ownership and lease information. Our Explore module also enables you to analyze individual licenses, view specific bands like 2.5Ghz, and rank ownership across companies.

Airwave Band Plan
"What does the 700H band plan look like in Los Angeles county?"

See spectrum holder for each block and county in the US & Territories. The band plan shows block-level ownership and lease status along with key context like licensed pop., duplex mode, market, and NR bands.

Run a Spectrum Screen

Airwave Screen
"What would a spectrum screen look like if T-Mobile acquired UScellular's spectrum?"

Simulate transaction scenarios. Get maps and metrics at both the national and county level on the sub 1Ghz, low+mid, and millimeter screens.

Understand what counties require an enhanced FCC screen and what bands are causing the screen to fail. You can narrow the acquisition target down to the block level for precise scenerio analysis.

Value Spectrum Assets

Airwave Benchmarks
"What is the price of AWS spectrum?"

Benchmark spectrum pricing from auctions and secondary-market transactions. Find the value of bands, estimate the return of spectrum over time, and make market-adjusted price assessments.
