Aetha has extensive knowledge of wireless networks having worked on over 100 projects which have involved assessing the economics of wireless network deployments and our expertise in using quantitative analysis helps our clients make major decisions, including performing socio-economic cost benefit analysis and performing impact analysis for our recommendations.
We also work with regulators to develop and implement regulatory policies as the telecoms industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace. We also help operators to contribute to policy development and report on compliance with regulations.
Examples of the roles we could play on projects include:
• HORIZON-JU-SNS-2025-STREAM-B-03-01: 6G NTN-TN Unification/Integration. The scope of this project includes developing novel schemes for spectrum sharing that provide good cost-coverage trade-off. We have extensive experience of assessing cost-coverage trade-offs for mobile operators and telecoms regulators and we are undertaking an economic analysis of the benefits of spectrum sharing as part of a spectrum sandbox for the UK’s Department of Science, Innovation and Technology.
• HORIZON-JU-SNS-2025-STREAM-B-03-02: Higher Speed Optical Access Networks and future end-to-end Packet Optical Network Architecture in 6G. We understand the energy consumption of telecoms networks and the impact of introducing different technologies on this. This experience will be useful for addressing the impact of photonic systems in 6G on energy consumption / sustainability.
• HORIZON-JU-SNS-2025-STREAM-D-01: SNS Trials and Pilots (T&Ps) with Verticals. We have experience of working with both small and large organisations (including major telecoms operators) supplying communications services to verticals as well as undertaking regulatory policy studies on this topic. We can support the consortia with developing and assessing the impact of the business models overlaying the technologies being investigated in the pilot studies.
