Spectrum Utilisation Reporting

As part of continuing efforts to provide efficient management of the radio frequency spectrum in Nigeria, the Commission is putting in place a modern Spectrum Management and Monitoring System (SMMS). As part of the SMMS implementation, detailed information is required about current and continuing utilisation of frequencies assigned to telecommunications operators, equipment operating on those frequencies and sites/locations where they are deployed, etc.

1. The information is required for creating a database on the utilization of frequencies and associated information that will be constantly updated. The records will provide an invaluable resource for facilitating resolution of interference
2. spectrum planning, policy; and 
3. the overall spectrum management strategy of the Commission.

All telecommunications operators are accordingly required to furnish the relevant information to the Commission according to the prescribed format and also update same periodically as specified by the Commission.

Accordingly, telecommunications operators are to download the following templates (MS Excel) where relevant and fill in the required data and thereafter forward the completed forms via email to [email protected]
