The TCI Model 710 Spectrum Management System provides automated ITU-compliant turnkey spectrum allocation and regulation of RF usage in compliance with its governing regulations. Comprehensive administrative, engineering analysis, map display, and accounting functions enable easy and effi cient spectrum management from frequency assignment through the processing of license applications, notices, invoices, fees and fi nes, and reports.
A distinct advantage of the 710 software is the AVD interface it provides between spectrum management and monitoring functions. TCI is the world’s only supplier to incorporate its own software and hardware and deliver integrated spectrum management and monitoring systems.
The 710’s powerful relational Database Management System assures data integrity, consistency, and security. Engineering Analysis tools assist operators in evaluating propagation, path loss, terrain profi le, intermodulation products, and electromagnetic compatibility.
Geographical Map Displays present DF results and fi eld strength contours on detailed geographic maps to facilitate spectrum assignment and analysis. Powerful query forms allow customized data selection. Autodiagnostics assure reliable operation.
Tasks are performed via easy-to-use screens. When installed in a multi-workstation system on a Local Area Network (LAN), the 710 optimizes productivity by making all spectrum management resources rapidly accessible system-wide. It also offers the ideal means for upgrading or expanding the spectrum management system since software upgrades are far easier to implement and less costly than new hardware.

data, management functions, and analysis tools required for effective spectrum management. “Smart” software guards against error by automatically rejecting invalid data. The same format is used for all screens, reducing the need for training and enhancing staffing flexibility to optimize human resources. The system is currently available in English, Spanish and French.

System DetailsRapid spectrum assignment is the key to encouraging licensed RF usage-and generating the revenue it brings. TCI’s 710 software enables Spectrum Management System administrators to achieve these goals by streamlining and automating every ASMS task. Efficiency is “designed into” the software, from processing licence applications and allocating frequencies to invoicing fees and printing reports. System security is equally assured, with multiple security groups offering many levels of database access.
Automatic Violation Detection (AVD) InterfaceEffective spectrum management requires effective spectrum monitoring. The model 710 allows you to export a list of all licensed emitters in a given area into the TCI Spectrum Monitoring System. The SMS uses the technical parameters contained in this list to automatically detect unlicensed emitters in the area, licensed emitters that are operating outside their licensed parameters and assigned frequencies that are not being used.
Model 5093 Spectrum Processor - Front Panel
TCI software streamlines all spectrum management tasks, from processing license applications to conducting engineering analysis studies and displaying the results.
The Right ToolsFrequency assignment and usage monitoring are easy when you have the right tools. The 710’s complete toolset enables operators to use database information on licensed transmitters and geographical features to complete all spectrum engineering tasks. Engineering analysis tools enhance operator effi ciency in identifying channels available for licensing, responding to requests from a neighbor country for border coordination, investigating interference complaints, and performing all other radio signal analysis tasks required for RF assignment and usage in accordance with ITU-R SM1370 recommendations of 2001 and national and local regulations.

Detailed Reports Generated AutomaticallyCreation of the many types of reports required for efficient spectrum management is expedited via a Report Processing function. Both text and graphic reports can be generated for:
Administrative tasks (e.g. licensing notices, invoices)
Engineering analysis results (e.g. field strength, terrain profile, interference, EMC computation)
Statistical accounts of relevant data (e.g. number of applications approved, pending, incomplete, or rejected; license status; financial records; and complaints received, resolved, and rejected).
Standard reports can also be customized. Operators use the powerful query capabilities supplied with the system to specify data criteria in customized reporting.
Reliable Operation, Affordable Upgrades System software includes autodiagnostic tools that assure reliable operation. And TCI 710 software enables a spectrum management to keep pace with increased RF usage and technological advances quickly and affordably simply by upgrading software instead of purchasing new hardware.
A complete set of engineering analysis tools assures rapid and interference-free frequency assignment (bottom left). Analysis results, such as the service area analysis (bottom right), are displayed in easy-to-understand graphic formats.
