UK Ministry of Defence to use LS telcom’s spectrum
management system SPECTRA through contract with
CGI
London, United Kingdom – LS telcom, the leading worldwide provider of spectrum management
systems, today announces that the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) will be using its SPECTRA spectrum
management system as part of the MOD’s contract with CGI. The commercial off the shelf SPECTRA
system will build upon the Ministry’s existing Spectrum Portal to extend and improve the MOD’s
spectrum planning, engineering and enforcement capabilities.
The extended, entirely integrated, and interoperable spectrum management system enables spectrum
managers to allocate and assign the electromagnetic spectrum more effectively. The process
automation of the system secures and accelerates processes to improve decision-making, and is another
contributor to more efficient spectrum use. This is essential with military spectrum becoming
increasingly congested and contested.
The SPECTRA spectrum management system is in use at the UK Spectrum Regulator Ofcom, and in over
100 countries around the world.
The contract held with CGI will provide integration and support services for the MOD’s Spectrum
management capability. CGI has worked with the MOD for 40 years and has built a reputation for
delivering secure end to end information solutions.
MOD’s Tessa Mulhall, Head of Spectrum, said: “The award of this spectrum management contract
extends our close working relationship with CGI. This will expand our vital service which provides
Defence with greater understanding of our spectrum usage, allowing us to better support the UK
Government’s Spectrum Strategy and Defence operational capability.”
