The Hindu Business Line : Maran launches system for better use of spectrum

THE Minister of Communications and IT, Mr Dayanidhi Maran, today launched an Automated Spectrum Management System (ASMS) with features aimed at optimising the use of scarce spectrum resource.

"The system has two components, namely ASMS and NSMS (National Spectrum Monitoring System) and has been implemented at a cost of Rs 200 crore with World Bank assistance," an official release said here.

Launching the system, Mr Maran said that the role of Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing of DoT was extremely crucial as its responsibilities had grown ten-folds within a short span of time. With the announcement of targeting 200-250 million telephone connections in the next three years, the responsibility of WPC Wing has grown further.

The new system would have a centralised database of the wireless licences, frequency records, spectrum engineering management & analysis software and digital terrain map of the country. Further, the system has features such as on-line filing of application for frequency assignments & licences.
