710 ASMS Automated Spectrum Management System
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 efficient spectrum
management from frequency assignment
through the processing of license applications,
notices, invoices, fees and fines, 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 profile, intermodulation
products, and electromagnetic compatibility.
Geographical Map Displays present DF
results and field 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.

System Details
Rapid 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.
Easy Operation,
Enhanced
Productivity
Tasks are performed via easy-to-use graphical
screens. Administrators, supervisors, and
operators have at their fingertips access to all
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.
Automatic Violation
Detection (AVD)
Interface
Effective 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 Tools
Frequency 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 efficiency 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.
Spectrum management interfaces with monitoring, making it easy to task mobile stations to
investigate emitters and verify compliance with licenses (Automated Violation Detection).

Detailed Reports
Generated
Automatically
Creation 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.
