LS telcom is an expert in the development and integration of automated spectrum management, radio monitoring, and direction finding systems. It provides its own systems, SPECTRA for spectrum management and LS OBSERVER for radio monitoring and intelligent data collection, and integrates these systems in addition to traditional radio monitoring and direction finding solutions.

The implementation ranges from portable, mobile and fixed monitoring stations, to complete monitoring operation centres and other shelterised systems.

For the military LS telcom has developed the “Combined and Interoperable Spectrum Management and Monitoring System”. The system combines LS telcom’s hardware monitoring system LS OBSERVER with the spectrum management software system SPECTRAmil.

LS OBSERVER works on the basis of distributed monitoring devices. These measure the complete frequency range and enable the armed forces to populate a database with real spectrum usage data, the foundation of secure frequency allocation in the operational area.

The automated spectrum management system SPECTRAmil consists of the central and secured database of spectrum information and several task specific software modules for tactical mission planning, military spectrum engineering, and electronic warfare operations. It supports all organisational units of the armed forces at strategic, operational, and tactical levels. The integrated software system SPECTRAmil combined with LS OBSERVER provides full control of the electromagnetic spectrum to the operational command at any time of operations.

Frequency regulatory authorities, Ministries of Telecommunications and Interior, military organisations, network operators and infrastructure providers in over 90 countries across all continents rely on LS telcom’s solutions and services.
