About the practice

Regulator, policymaker, operator — the range a hard spectrum problem needs.

Expertise that's hard to find in one place, paired with automation and AI-assisted tooling that let it reach more clients than any one engineer's calendar could alone.

§ 01Principal

Jon Stefaniak

Founder & Principal Engineer

A decade moving between enforcement, national policy, and utility spectrum operations — the same range a hard spectrum problem usually needs. Automation and AI-assisted tooling extend that capacity today, with more engineers joining as the practice grows.

§ 02The range behind the practice

Most consultancies have lived one life in RF. This practice draws on five — from chasing interference in the field to writing the national strategy for the bands everyone wants.

I.

Enforcement

Field interference investigations for the federal communications regulator — direction-finding real emitters and building cases that held up. The instinct for what a signal is actually doing, not what the license says it should.

II.

National policy

Helped shape the first National Spectrum Strategy inside the agency that advises the President on spectrum — engaging federal leadership and industry executives on the bands everyone wants.

III.

Grid operations

Leads spectrum management for a power utility's critical telecommunications today — microwave and mobile radio design, interference resolution, and the federal authorizations that keep grid communications on the air.

IV.

Utility consulting

Engineering consulting for electric utility clients — SCADA networks, land mobile radio upgrades, and microwave studies, carried from kickoff through field acceptance.

V.

Carrier RF

Wireless network builds at commercial scale — LTE deployment, sector upgrades, and site design across a major metro market. The discipline of carrier-grade RF engineering.

§ 04What colleagues say
Jon was the anchor in the office and made sure to have the design finished with complete documentation... He proved himself to be confident, competent, and a reliable team member of an experienced group.
Michael SoltysRF Engineer, colleague on carrier network projects
Jon impressed me immediately at interview... He thrived and grasped every opportunity to learn, and earned the respect and trust of his colleagues, peers, and leadership in short order.
