Spectrum Alliance October 2025 Spectrum Survey Question Title * 1. What is your experience with coordinating RF equipment and spectrum bands utilized at large productions outside of wireless microphones (and similar type equipment) and the core TV & STL bands? (Examples: RF cameras in federal bands; Land Mobile Radio used for high power PLs and IFBs as well as convention PTT operations; wireless microphones operating in non-traditional bands under STA; coordination of unlicensed spectrum.) Question Title * 2. How far in advance of load in (ESU) do you attempt to discuss equipment and frequency bands with stakeholders? Question Title * 3. Do you discuss and establish an overall policy with the event organizer/producer about who is/is not permitted to use wireless, and by extension who has priority if/when any given band of spectrum becomes too congested to add more channels? Question Title * 4. What obstacles with event management have you encountered when encouraging the use of wired equipment for certain users? Question Title * 5. When do you create a band plan for the event, is it generally the same for all events or will it vary once equipment needs are better understood? Question Title * 6. Have you ever encountered a user of spectrum on-site using an entire channel when less is required? Do you have suggestions as to how to avoid this inefficient practice? Question Title * 7. Do any of your answers change regarding the nature of the event (indoor v. outdoor, prevalence of other media, size of venue, planned v. spontaneous, etc.)? Question Title * 8. How do you respond to poor advanced planning and/or communications by a spectrum user? Question Title * 9. Do you use any sort of pre-event frequency coordination request process (web portal, emailed template, etc.)? Question Title * 10. What additional planning considerations would you suggest, that haven't been already covered by this survey? Done
