TRC SPECTRUM MONITORING SYSTEM -TENDER DOCUMENT

Introduction

The radio frequency spectrum is a limited natural resource and ofstrategic importance to Jordan. Recent developments incommunications have stretched the capacity of radio spectrum to thelimit. Public and commercial broadcasting, cellular networks, radiobased local area Networks and wide area Networks, microwave andsatellite transmission, mobile communications, pagers andemergency services all depend on the allocation and management ofthe radio communication for their effectiveness.

With the demand for spectrum increasing in Jordan, and radiosystems becoming more complex, spectrum management isbecoming an increasingly important function, involving many stepsand considerations that need to be observed to enable high qualityservices to be provided by efficiently utilizing the radio spectrum inJordan. Effective management of radio spectrum is a key buildingblock of the telecommunications infrastructure of any nation. As theglobal expectations of radio basedservices increases, pressures onthe finite resources of the radio spectrum create both new challengesand opportunities. It is now critically important that TRC assuresecure, high quality radio communications to the users of the radiospectrum in Jordan.

For maximum effectiveness, spectrum measurement andinvestigations of interferences requires a reliable monitoring system

that must be readily transported to near or distant locations that maynot be easily accessible, e.g., open fields or hilltops without anaccess road. TRC is looking for an efficient Vehicle- mounted (mobilemonitoring station) to perform the Technical Analysisand other tasksrelated to radio spectrum monitoring including antennas and supporthardware).THE SYSTEM IS INTENDED TO BE USED AS ASPECTRUM MONITORING SYSTEM FOR TECHNICALPURPOSES ONLY FOR CIVIL USE AND SHALL NOT BE USEDOR HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PERFORM AUDIO RECORDING,PLAYBACK OR ANY LISTENING FACILITIES.

The following pages describe the Mobile Monitoring System that

TRC is interested in acquiring. These are minimum requirementsand are by no means totally inclusive. They are intended to be aguide in setting the direction and expectations for the MobileMonitoring System.
