Managing the radio spectrum has long been one of most time-consuming activities of national and international regulating bodies. The number of rules, forms and procedures that must be observed to the letter on penalty of seeing the file come back again is such that, very often, people who succeed in mastering all of them are rare and valuable. As for private or public telecommunications operators who often need to make applications to regulators or who sometimes replace the regulator for the management of certain frequency bands, it is a real headache as they are not very used to finding their way through such rigid and complicated procedures.

Today, tools like ICS Manager (see article), considerably relieve the burden of these management tasks. Our teams have developed ICS Manager in cooperation with acknowledged experts of the International Telecommunications Union in a constant concern for simplicity, clarity and power to access information. This has resulted in a tool enabling the regulators and operators, by following strict international standards, to avoid mistakes and significantly reduce the time for processing license applications, coordination at borders, etc.

Failing to master these rules, many countries still economize on these procedures, which remain fundamental for consistent, progressive organization of the worldwide radio spectrum. A tool such as ICS Manager can encourage them to become bigger players in the international game.
