1. A system to implement dynamic spectrum access, comprising:

  • an external communication interface that includes at least one antenna and is configured to receive (1) a request for available spectrum in a geographic region, the request indicating an ability of a requestor to aggregate frequency use across a plurality of frequency bands including International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) bands and non-IMT bands, and (2) an indication of available spectrum in the geographic region, the indication including one or more frequency bands for the available spectrum; and

    a processor that is programmed toconclude a spectrum availability transaction to provide a portion of the available spectrum to the requestor according to the ability of the requestor to aggregate frequency use across the plurality of frequency bands; and

    communicate to the requestor information regarding access to the provided portion of the available spectrum;

    the requestor employing the portion of the available spectrum to conduct at least one of wireless voice and data communications, including conducting signaling between various entities to aggregate the frequency use across the plurality of frequency bands including the IMT bands and non-IMT bands.
