How Visualyse products can help: Visualyse products do not currently model systems below 30 MHz.
How Transfinite consultants can help: We have experience in analysing sharing scenarios at MF / HF frequency bands using tools such as GR-WAVE, and in use of GMDSS equipment. We can undertake studies including analysis of sharing between the services covered by this agenda item, and identify suitable system characteristics and sharing criterias, and provide contributions and representation at relevant ITU-R Working Parties.
