LS telcom : wins significant project Down Under

The Australian Government has approved the commencement of a major project that will upgrade Defence's electromagnetic spectrum management capability

Lichtenau, 29.06.2022 - LS telcom AG is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, LS telcom Australia Pty Ltd has secured a contract, in value 19.8 million AUD (EUR 13.3 million) including GST, with Department of Defence. LS telcom is proud to be chosen by the Australian Government for its global experience and specialist knowledge to upgrade and sustain Defence's electromagnetic spectrum management capability. LS telcom Australia Pty Ltd will build up its local capability and presence in Canberra for both delivery and sustainment phases of the project.

Electromagnetic spectrum is a contested and congested resource that has become a key domain especially for military use. It is a critical communication resource which is used across several industries and enables crucial services to send and receive information via electronic devices including satellites and radios. The success of Defence operations and homeland protection is strongly dependent on the knowledge about the current electromagnetic spectrum landscape and the sanity of the used Spectrum Segments. This secures reliable radio communication during military operations and the differentiation between friendly and hostile communications. The investment the Australian Defence Force is taking will enable them staying on top of the raising wireless communication and device control challenges during operations both domestically and overseas.

Defence has initiated this Project for replacing ageing technology by implementing the newest and most advanced solution worldwide. It is based on LS telcom's flagship product mySPECTRA, consisting of an integrated Spectrum analysis package centralised but also autonomous operating databases and a powerful workflow, case optimized workflow engine.

With this, Defence will have an enhanced spectrum management capability that utilises modern, interoperable, and secure communications technology, combatting the rising threat from information and cyber-attacks.

The initial Project will be delivered over the next three years with the option to be extended with two additional three years periods to support and maintain the implemented system.

LS telcom looks forward to cooperating with Department of Defence and its Defence Industry Partners on this exciting and challenging Project.
