Shared Spectrum Company develops cognitive radio technology that enables devices to automatically identify and use available spectrum. Its Dynamic Spectrum Access approach adapts to the spectral environment in real time, supporting more efficient wireless communications while avoiding interference with existing users. This capability allows new systems to be deployed quickly without displacing current deployments. The firm is based in Tysons, Virginia, and operates as a small to mid-sized team. By enabling more versatile use of licensed spectrum, its technology helps spectrum holders diversify applications or lease unused capacity to others. In October 2017, SSC announced that former FCC commissioner Robert M. McDowell joined its board of directors.
