Abstract
Using Spatial Information to Enhance Radio Frequency ManagementTrack: Telecommunications
Author(s): Chris DeJager
Throughout the world, countries and regions rely on radio spectrum management techniques to manage the finite resources of the radio spectrum and the growth of their telecommunications infrastructure. As new databases containing terrain, environment, urban, and building data are made available, new automated, digital wave propagation models are being deployed. Spectrocan delivers these models in their Automated Frequency Management System (AFMS) using Esri's ArcGIS, ArcSDE, and ArcIMS platforms. The paper discusses how adding the spatial dimension has streamlined the spectrum evaluation process, improved the technical analysis and accuracy of the wave propagation models, and enhanced revenue generating capabilities for national and regional spectrum management agencies.
