Customers use consultants because they believe that consultants can provide some useful additional insight into problems. Ultimately customers expect to exploit consulting deliverables to their business benefit.

ATDI consulting is in four forms:

Planning - where deliverables are highly tangible and can be converted into bills of material describing a network

Modelling - where the output is in the form of argument and evidence to answer an engineering or policy question

Measuring - to validate methods used in planning and modelling or to verify network performance

Regulating - where ATDI consulting influences major change in spectrum structure and regulation

Historically projects focussed on planning; the design of radiocommunications services across Europe. Measuring projects then centered on the verification that networks were performing as planned. As spectrum regulation moved from command & control to markets governance, so ATDI’s consulting has moved to address more complex issues. ATDI engineers now also provide expert guidance and problem solving to Europe’s regulators and network operators as they evolve the economics of modern spectrum access. Today, ATDI’s consulting services span the whole lifecycle of network implementation.
