Spectrum Management and Monitoring System (SMMS)

As part of continuing efforts to provide efficient management of the radiofrequency 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.

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 (i) facilitating resolution of interference; (ii) spectrum planning, policy; and (iii) 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.  

All completed templates are to be sent via electronic mail (email) to radfrequency@ncc.gov.ng.

Reviewed Base Station Data Gathering Template -  This is to collate Base Station Data from all telecommunications operators.

Reviewed Deployed Microwave Links Template - This is for all operators of telecommunications systems or networks, public or private, that have deployed microwave links. Operators are required to file subsequent updates of the deployed microwave hops on the 1st of April, August and December. The updates should include previous submissions in black font, indications of deleted links in red, added links in blue and/or links with parameters modified in purple.
