Connogue Limited, based in Ireland, specialises in telecommunications regulation, spectrum management and radiocommunications matters. Connogue’s consultants operate in a flexible and cost effective manner and are able to undertake tasks world-wide at short notice. This is achieved through efficient networking amongst a pool of expert independent spectrum management and telecommunications consultants. Many of these experts have held senior positions in the radio regulatory departments of national telecommunications administrations, industry or in regional regulatory telecommunications organisations such as CEPT’s European Radiocommunications Office.

National Regulatory Authorities and Spectrum Management Organisations are becoming increasingly aware of the strategic importance of the radio spectrum and its contribution to economic growth, jobs, national security and quality leisure activities. It is therefore not surprising that economic and spectrum pricing issues increasingly influence spectrum management and regulation decisions. Connogue has the expertise to balance the key factors crucial in developing an effective spectrum management policy and strategy, which could address licensing and tariffs, auctions and spectrum trading, frequency allocation and assignment, national and international co-ordination, monitoring, enforcement and control, type approval and standards, conformity assessment, spectrum migration (refarming) as well as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and RF Exposure issues.

In addition telecommunications and spectrum users will increasingly require means to determine the value of spectrum; Connogue is developing techniques to determine the quality of spectrum in order to advise bodies engaged in developing a policy and strategy for trading radio frequencies.

Connogue’s consultants have undertaken spectrum management assignments in countries as varied as Bangladesh, India, Ireland, Lebanon, Pakistan, Romania and the United Kingdom. Connogue’s spectrum management consultants have also undertaken work commissioned by organisations such as the World Bank, Asia Pacific Telecommunity and the European Commission. Typical Connogue spectrum management assignments can be found on our services page.

Supporting services such as the English language editing of telecommunications documentation and tailored training courses in EMC and spectrum management can also be undertaken.
