Rivada Networks’ Dynamic Spectrum Arbitrage technology turns networks into markets. With demand for mobile data growing at nearly 50% a year, we face an urgent need to use wireless spectrum and networks more efficiently. Rivada’s technology answers that need. Dynamic Spectrum Arbitrage allocates LTE network resources to wholesale buyers of wireless bandwidth, while its Open Access Market allows bidders to buy that bandwidth a year out, a month out, or in real time in response to projected demand and market conditions. The Open Access Market, modeled on the successful and proven markets for electricity supply, radically lowers the barriers to entry into the wireless market by ensuring that supply and demand are matched every hour of the day, on every cell site on a network. This in turn makes possible a wide range of new business models to take advantage of that bandwidth. The current market for mobile data is dominated by the carriers’ monthly per-device subscription charges. But these fail to capture the full diversity of potential uses for mobile data. Growth in mobile-data demand in the coming years will be dominated by machine-to-machine communications and Internet-of-things applications. Many of these new uses stand to benefit greatly from the ability to buy inexpensive capacity at times and places where networks are currently under-utilised. Even traditional operators will be able to provide better, faster and more consistent service when they can buy capacity on an as-needed basis.
