From a regulator’s prospec­tive, it is impor­tant that oper­a­tors adhere them­selves to the rules and reg­u­la­tions stip­u­lat­ed by their reg­u­la­tor. At the same time, reg­u­la­tors must assure that enough resources are (made) avail­able, for them to oper­ate their net­works ade­quate­ly to meet their ser­vices require­ments.

Although reg­u­la­tors them­selves do not own or man­age assets to the mag­ni­tude that these need to be mon­i­tored or tracked, it is impor­tant that they are able to mon­i­tor and track those assets used by oper­a­tors with­in their juris­dic­tion. Some reg­u­la­tors see the impor­tance for all deployed net­work assets to be reg­is­tered as in many cas­es licens­es and per­mits are required to oper­ate such ele­ments.

Our con­sul­tan­cy firm assists reg­u­la­tors deter­mine these require­ments, advice ways to effi­cient­ly keep track of operator’s assets which are sub­ject to licens­ing and imple­ment appli­ca­tions which make this job easy and afford­able.

The sys­tems we imple­ment help with:

• Reg­is­tra­tion of all types of com­mu­ni­ca­tion equip­ment includ­ing their phys­i­cal loca­tion;

• Keep­ing track of microwave fre­quen­cies being used by oper­a­tors at and between trans­mis­sion sites, in accor­dance with the licens­es and per­mits grant­ed;

• Keep­ing track of mul­ti­point fre­quen­cies and sub­scriber con­nec­tion points in order to quan­ti­fy sub­scriber counts and ver­i­fy report­ing;

• Keep­ing track of aer­i­al and under the ground net­work resources like fiber optic and cop­per, while mon­i­tor­ing con­nec­tion points of sub­scribers con­nect­ed to the opti­cal and cop­per net­work;

• Pro­vide the pos­si­bil­i­ty for licens­es to be applied for using one stan­dard­ized online sys­tem, enabling reg­u­la­tors and oth­er gov­ern­ment enti­ties to pro­vide feed­back or license grants quick­er and more effi­cient­ly;

• Mak­ing use of the finan­cial mod­el, to keep cur­rent on the charg­ing of recur­ring license fees based on the resources used;

• Act­ing quick­er on inter­fer­ences, using an RF/MW tools to ana­lyze pos­si­ble usage and nar­row down where inter­fer­ences come from;

• Coor­di­nat­ing in cas­es where new trench­es are dug and ducts allo­cat­ed to oper­a­tors to avoid that trench­es need to be opened for a sec­ond time;

• Mak­ing sure that tow­ers are prop­er­ly built in accor­dance with the max­i­mum loads for which they are designed and ensure that safe­ty and secu­ri­ty reg­u­la­tions are met;

• Ensur­ing that prop­er main­te­nance and pre­ven­tive repairs are done to each trans­mis­sion site.
