Powerful data visualisations for over 130 countries now available

These are part of the PolicyTracker Data Explorer, a new service that adds more features to the Spectrum Research Service and upgrades existing functionality.

The first phase is the National Data Overview which shows the key statistics about individual countries.

Take Poland for example:

• How many people live in rural areas?
• What mobile bands have been licensed?
• How much did they cost?
• What spectrum awards are upcoming?
• How big is the national economy?
• Is Poland a major technology player?
• What regulatory issues are currently being debated?

The answers are at your fingertips, presented in compelling graphs, diagrams and tables.

Spectrum Research Service subscribers can access the National Data Overview here and there is an explanation of sourcing and methodology here. Comparative features are being added shortly – more details to follow.

The information available in the National Data Overview includes:

1. Population data: number of inhabitants, country size, urban and rural proportions
2. Mobile spectrum holdings: the amount of spectrum assigned to each operator, categorised into low, high and mid-band, along with a list of mobile spectrum licences
3. Prices in mobile awards: amounts paid per band and comparison with global averages
4. Economic indicators: GDP data and technology exports
5. Regulatory activity: key issues, recent consultations and spectrum awards
6. Recent and upcoming mobile awards: completed and forthcoming assignments
