The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance appoints its new president

The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) has appointed Dr Martha Suárez as its new president. In her previous role, Suárez was the general director of The National Spectrum Agency (ANE) in Colombia.

After receiving a degree as Electronics Engineer from the Universidad Industrial de Santander in 2004, Suárez received her master’s degree in high frequency communication systems from the University of Marne-la-Vallee, France in 2006 and her PhD from the University Paris-Est in 2009. Suárez has been a vocal proponent of efficient spectrum utilisation in regional and global forums including CITEL (the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission), the ITU, and other multi-lateral organisations.

“With dynamic spectrum access playing such a crucial role in enabling next-generation wireless technologies, I’m looking forward to working with the DSA members, governments, and regulators around the world to enable more efficient spectrum utilisation,” said Suárez. “Spectrum is a key income for wireless communication systems and there are many opportunities that arise when considering flexible access to this resource. We need to create new solutions and innovate to close the digital gap and connect the unconnected. Dynamic spectrum definitely has a lot to contribute.”
