Automated Spectrum Management

Overview

Radio spectrum is the lifeblood of the radiocommunications industry. It’s the allotted frequencies or spectrum which supports all wireless communications. Spectrum regulation, also known as spectrum management, is the regulation of those frequencies to promote its efficient use and to maximise the net social benefit. Radio spectrum typically refers to the range of frequencies from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

Over recent years, we’ve seen the growth and development of automated spectrum management solutions. These solutions automate and integrate key functions like licensing, engineering analysis, administration and monitoring. These scalable solutions improve spectrum allocation, coordination and management and reduce the risk of human error.

ATDI has been at the forefront of developing automated spectrum management solutions for national and regional spectrum regulators for over three decades.

Benefits

ATDI’s solutions allow regulators to:

Regulate the use of RF spectrum to ensure it’s used efficiently and is accessible to all users;
Minimise the impact of interference both in & out of band;
Automate frequency allocations to improve efficiency and spectrum reuse;
Support emerging 技术 through spectrum sharing and innovative licensing approaches;
Coordinate spectrum use with neighbouring countries and other administrations;
Manage back-office functions for admin, licensing and billing;
Enable data exchanges with end users via front-end services and web portals;
Interface with monitoring solutions to enable a full turnkey spectrum management solution;
Enable spectrum re-farming and auctions;
Drive innovation and emerging trends in spectrum regulation and use.

Finding a one-solution-fits-all software solution is often costly or simply unavailable. In addition, organisations must focus on improving productivity and quality of operations. Often users look to combine a number of solutions to meet their needs.

ATDI works closely with partners and end-users to understand the users’ requirements and tailors their solutions for both large and small systems. Whether this is creating an API to allow two systems to interact or integrating their software into a much larger/complex structure, ATDI offers the expertise and know-how to support all end user requirements.

System integration provides agile, flexible and scalable solutions to meet every need, talk to us today.
