Comsearch speaks on the panel at NSMA’s 2024 Annual Spectrum Management Conference. The event brings together a diverse group of participants to discuss the latest spectrum-related trends and developments. The conference’s topic areas are as diverse as the participants, and with increasing spectrum congestion, reallocations, sharing, and repurposing, it’s more important than ever to understand the radio spectrum environment from all angles. The NSMA conference is an excellent opportunity to meet and network with representatives from all sectors of the wireless industry.
This year, NSMA’s Annual Conference was co-located with NSF’s Spectrum Week. The second annual NSF Spectrum Week brought together six major spectrum events: NRDZ, SpectrumX, and SWIFT, co-location with IEEE DySPAN 2024, National Spectrum Management Association’s (NSMA) Annual Conference, and NITRD Wireless Spectrum R&D Interagency Working Group (WSRD IWG).
