LS telcom announced that the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) will be using its SPECTRA spectrum management system as part of the MOD's contract with CGI. The commercial off the shelf SPECTRA system will build upon the Ministry's existing Spectrum Portal to extend and improve the MOD's spectrum planning, engineering and enforcement capabilities. The extended, entirely integrated, and interoperable spectrum management system enables spectrum managers to allocate and assign the electromagnetic spectrum more effectively. The process automation of the system secures and accelerates processes to improve decision-making, and is another contributor to more efficient spectrum use. This is essential with military spectrum becoming increasingly congested and contested. The SPECTRA spectrum management system is in use at the UK Spectrum Regulator Ofcom, and in over 100 countries around the world. The contract held with CGI will provide integration and support services for the MOD's Spectrum management capability.
