Those systems are limiting the NTIA’s ability to accommodate the demands of advanced technologies, such as deploying 5G, advancing space commerce, and securing government missions dependent on spectrum. The goal of this program is to upgrade those systems to latest technical platforms, improve security and scalability of NTIA spectrum systems, develop advanced analytic tools and engineering models, and automate workflows around these spectrum-related functions and processes.
