OUR SUCCESS REFLECTS OUR CUSTOMERS SUCCESS AND

ENABLES THEM TO STAY COMPETITIVE IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING
MARKET

ATDI are global leaders in the development and implementation of

automated spectrum management solutions.

For over three decades we have backed nearly 100 spectrum regulation
authorities. Our solutions continue to evolve to meet the growing needs of
civil and defence regulators, in line with ITU guidelines.

We help spectrum managers control and optimise spectrum, enable

frequency sharing and automate resource-intensive processes.

1. Proven – 70% of our custom is repeat business

2. Experience - 100 spectrum managers / regulators - Repeat custom
- Proven ability to adapt solutions
3. Ethos – Experience – Innovation – Challenge ideas can support

Legal documents and consent management

• The system will have an interface in ICS e-Manager to

control versions of Master Agreement, current one and
history to be stored in regulators’ database and available for
the regulatory system administrator to update.
• By default, the system shall require Customers to accept the
Master Agreement before continuing to work with the web-
service. When the Customer doesn’t accept the Master
Agreement, the system displays it after the Customer login and
requires its acceptance or requires it to leave the web page. Date
and time of the Acceptance is stored in the database.
