About Ilkka Niva
At the helm of regulatory compliance at Tarana Wireless, my focus is on navigating the intricacies of the next-generation fixed wireless access (ngFWA) broadband platforms. This entails oversight of FCC, ETSI and international type approvals, and ensuring our cutting-edge products meet diverse RF/EMC, electrical safety and environmental standards. My recent endeavors have significantly contributed to Tarana\'s position as a leader in the unlicensed 6 GHz, 3.6 GHz CBRS, and 5 GHz UNII bands, cementing our market presence globally.Previously, as a Senior Technical Director at CETECOM, I managed cross-functional teams and oversaw a comprehensive P&L for the regulatory business unit. My leadership in radio communication, EMC, and RF, alongside managing the mobile operator 5G OTA, has honed my ability to deliver technical solutions that align with customer needs and project goals. These experiences have sharpened my competencies in product compliance and networking, enabling our team to achieve operational excellence and foster innovation.
