Summary
Adrien Demarez is a seasoned telecom and spectrum regulation expert with 12+ years building wireless networks, embedded systems and regulatory strategy across industry and government. He transitioned from hands-on radio and embedded Linux engineering—leading WiMAX and custom CPE development—to CTO at Bolloré Telecom where he designed carrier infrastructure and represented the company in 3GPP, CEPT and ITU forums. At ANFR he led international spectrum work for 5G, synchronization and coexistence studies, overseeing key WRC-23 agenda items while also teaching signal processing and digital communications. Comfortable at the intersection of standards, RF engineering and software, he pairs low-level C/C++ and kernel work with policy-level negotiation experience. Based in New Caledonia since 2024, he continues to blend practical firmware expertise (OpenWRT/Yocto) with strategic spectrum advocacy in challenging environments. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who moves between soldering a board and chairing technical discussions with equal fluency.
