SPECTRUM ECONOMY<br />
<strong>THE</strong> CHALLENGE OF TOMORROW<br />
Owing to the liberalization and deregulation of the telecommunications<br />
markets, network providers as well as<br />
regulatory authorities today are confronted with new<br />
challenges and requirements.<br />
Extensive demand for qualified services and products<br />
as well as support by specialized engineers and software<br />
developers in the entire area of radio network planning<br />
mark this development. The need for fast reaction<br />
capacity and accelerated frequency allocation and license<br />
processing is another indicator for this dynamic change.<br />
Strong expansion and dynamization of markets have led<br />
to national as well as international ITU regulations gaining<br />
more and more importance. Licensing and frequency<br />
allocation processes have reached a maximum level of<br />
complexity owing to coordination activities going beyond<br />
regional borders.<br />
The frequency spectrum is getting ever more densely<br />
populated as the development of new technologies and<br />
new services keeps on advancing:<br />
In broadcasting e.g. by means of new technologies and<br />
new services such as synchronized analog FM stations,<br />
new services like DAB (digital audio broadcasting) or<br />
DVB (digital video broadcasting).<br />
In mobile radiotelephone services e.g. through the<br />
development of the UMTS market for mobile telecommunications.<br />
In the area of fixed networks e.g. by use of broadband<br />
PMP/WLL/LMDS technology and high-bit rated point-topoint<br />
microwave connections.<br />
Therefore, efficient handling of the resource spectrum is<br />
essential. And LS telcom are the only company in this<br />
sector to offer their customers worldwide application<br />
software in accordance with industrial standards,<br />
combined with a seamless service concept.<br />

MEETING <strong>THE</strong><br />
CHALLENGES OF<br />
NETWORK ROLLOUT:<br />
SITEMARKET<br />
E-SOLUTIONS<br />
With the e-Solution business field, LS telcom pave new<br />
ways for the processing of planning and coordination tasks.<br />
Even the "classic" engineering and spectrum management<br />
tools of LS telcom point the way ahead; but the new<br />
generation of Internet/Intranet-based applications and<br />
services constitute an international break-through in terms<br />
of handling, efficiency and cost.<br />
The e-Solutions are a group of tools, which, for the time<br />
being, are used in mobile and fixed communication only<br />
but, in future, will be employed in all other services as well.<br />
e-Solutions are offered by LS telcom as a service and may<br />
be put to a customer's use within their own Intranet.<br />
COMMON FEATURES OF <strong>THE</strong> TOOLS ARE:<br />
Easy-to-handle user surface, requiring no special<br />
technical knowledge<br />
Pay-per-use, allowing calculation of just a few<br />
objects without any expensive tools and data<br />
Access worldwide to any computer with Internet<br />
connection<br />
Privacy first, providing each and every customer<br />
with their own password and transaction-safe site<br />
in our application for configuration of their own<br />
databases and tools<br />
The Internet-based SiteMarket is exemplary for the new<br />
technology<br />
www.placeAbase.com<br />
consistently applies the new technology to meet one of the<br />
biggest challenges of network rollout today.<br />
By tradition, site acquisition requires a great deal of time,<br />
effort and cost for the planning areas of all network providers.<br />
The SiteMarket takes over a major part of the work<br />
to be done, thus greatly facilitating procedures or making<br />
them completely redundant.

ADVANTAGES FOR NETWORK OPERATORS<br />
LOOKING FOR SITES ARE:<br />
Sites are directly available, classified by quality and degree<br />
of development.<br />
Depending on the degree of development, preliminary<br />
agreements have been concluded with the owners to allow<br />
rental agreements to be arranged in the shortest of time.<br />
Quickly arranged rental agreements speed up rollout.<br />
Almost free of charge, it may be established if a site is<br />
generally suited, thus saving a lot of acquisition costs.<br />
The complete site report may be obtained on-line at<br />
moderate charges, reducing exploration times to zero.<br />
Analysis instruments allow direct exploration of the site,<br />
based on a customer's characteristics such as antenna and<br />
hardware directly linked to the computer, making extensive<br />
transfers into other planning tools unnecessary.<br />
LS telcom check compatibility problems in connection with<br />
co-siting.<br />
Worldwide access allows potential operators to locate<br />
transmission sites in the target area at a very early stage.<br />
Sites may be locked on call, which is a great benefit<br />
compared to the current common practice of stock<br />
acquisition.<br />
ADVANTAGES FOR <strong>THE</strong> SITE OWNER/<br />
SITE BROKER ARE:<br />
Worldwide offering of the site means bigger chances<br />
of rental.<br />
Multiple use by controlled co-siting generates higher returns.

LS TELCOM’S<br />
UNCHALLENGED<br />
TECHNOLOGICAL<br />
LEADERSHIP<br />
SPECTRUM ECONOMY<br />
Wireless is the key word of our day and age. Nobody<br />
wants to be restrained by cords or sockets. Far from it,<br />
more and more high-speed services should be offered<br />
cordless, be it Internet per UMTS, Blue-Tooth for intercommunication<br />
or PmP for broadband-tapping of the last<br />
mile. Everyone needs channels and the corresponding<br />
bandwidth from the seemingly unlimited stock of the<br />
frequency spectrum.<br />
This frantic demand for frequencies along with the deregulation<br />
measures taken within the last 10 years has<br />
resulted in an entirely different requirement profile<br />
for regulatory authorities. Today, frequencies have to<br />
be assigned efficiently and without delay. Expectations of<br />
license owners have risen in line with the high fees<br />
charged for lucrative licenses. The regulator has to<br />
guarantee that such frequencies dearly paid for are free of<br />
any interference. Coordination with neighboring<br />
countries may be effected without delay since any time lost<br />
may automatically reduce the license owners' revenue.<br />
In order to manage this diversity of tasks, LS telcom have<br />
developed a complete software package, which is used by<br />
regulators all over the world. Since its first implementation<br />
in 1995, the SPECTRA concept has been pointing the<br />
way ahead for modern spectrum management,<br />
securing LS telcom's unchallenged technological leadership<br />
in this sector.<br />
Fundamental pillar of the system is an ORACLE-based<br />
frequency administration database, the SPECTRA DB.<br />
It contains comprehensive data of any transmitter/receiver<br />
site located in a country, requiring a license. The data stock<br />
goes far beyond the technical parameters in so far as it<br />
contains all and any parameters relevant to the licensing<br />
procedure and ensuing license phase. Furthermore, it<br />
stores the data of any such foreign station as may be<br />
relevant to the coordination with stations of one' s own.<br />
Around SPECTRA DB, special applications have been<br />
installed to allow transparent access to this database and<br />
feed it with data, or retrieve data from it respectively. For<br />
this purpose, interfaces were created to serve communication<br />
among the tools. These interfaces are of such general<br />
character, however, that they may also be used for tool<br />
communication in the mobile/fixed area. This procedure<br />
allows the SPECTRA system to dock in to almost any<br />
LS telcom application.
LS_Image_Innen_12022004.qxd 20.02.2004 11:16 Seite 18<br />
The SPECTRAplus application plays a major part here,<br />
being able to perform data input and output, invoicing or<br />
workflow management, depending on the system's<br />
upgrades. Integration of the Print Form Processor enables<br />
customers, after a short training phase, to even program<br />
documents such as licenses and invoices.<br />
The SPECTRAplus application allows regulators to<br />
program frequency plans specific to the various countries<br />
independently. Test scenarios may be created or new<br />
services and comments may be added to existing frequency<br />
plans.<br />
Next to this administration unit, all engineering tools may<br />
be docked in to SPECTRA DB. Each one of these tools,<br />
such as CHIRplus_LM or CHIRplus_BC, is optimized<br />
for efficient handling of one work process for one or more<br />
services. The expert feels completely at home here, and<br />
data are clearly arranged in structures best suited for the<br />
service. The tools are as efficient when it comes to<br />
dealing with complex tasks.<br />
MONITORplus forms the bridge between target data<br />
stock in the SPECTRA DB and actual measurements.<br />
Provided with interfaces to the systems of the leading producers<br />
of monitoring equipment, data relating to individual<br />
license entries may be mapped, or measurement requirements<br />
may be formulated. Furthermore, MONITORplus<br />
provides easy-to-use analysis instruments, allowing universal<br />
field strength and compatibility analyses.<br />
The universal workflow management, available as an individual<br />
tool in the SPECTRA system or partially integrated<br />
in the tools in accordance with ITU conventions, constitutes<br />
an essential feature in our product world.<br />
