TCI Partners to Deliver a National Spectrum Monitoring Program to Enhance Iraqi Telecommunication Infrastructure

Fremont, CA – The Communications and Media Commission (CMC) of Iraq has selected TCI spectrum monitoring solutions for its nationwide program to establish a national radio frequency spectrum management & monitoring network. TCI’s solutions were selected to support the CMC’s vision to provide fixed and mobile spectrum monitoring systems across Iraq after a thorough technical and commercial assessment.

Radio-frequency (RF) spectrum is a vital national resource essential to wireless voice and data communications. The CMC’s mission is to allocate and license the RF spectrum in Iraq and monitor the spectrum for sources of interference and unauthorized signals, ensuring excellent telecommunication services for its citizens.

TCI hardware and software provide a complete, automated solution to detect, locate and identify signals of interest. This capability will enable CMC to effectively manage the Iraq national spectrum and eliminate sources of interference that degrade radio, television and wireless communications signals. TCI will enable the CMC’s personnel to operate the systems through a series of in-depth training and skills/expertise development activities. Working with TCI specialists, the CMC team will receive specific hands-on operational training and best practice techniques for using its products, to ensure the CMC personnel are amongst the most capable spectrum specialists in the region.

TCI leverages 50+ years’ experience providing RF-based solutions for spectrum monitoring and to ensure successful execution of this strategic program for Iraq’s telecommunications infrastructure. TCI selected a the Al-Zaman Group as its local partner for this project due to its track record of successful program execution within Iraq. The Al-Zaman Group employs a highly-capable engineering team to support CMC locally through the duration of the program and warranty period.
