CRA provides radio support for Superbike Championship final


(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) has met the substantial radiocommunication requirements of Losail Circuit Sports Club for the Superbike World Championship 2017 held recently.
The CRA approved 300 different types of radio equipment such as walkie-talkies and wireless cameras with 93 different temporary frequencies, according to a press statement.
Qatar hosted the final round of the Superbike World Championship at Losail International Circuit for the fourth consecutive year. Losail Circuit Sports Club organised the event in co-operation with Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation with CRA playing a major supporting role in line with its national mandate of managing and allocating scarce resources such as the radio spectrum.
The CRA met the needs of the organisers within a short time period and extended its full support for the timely release of imported equipment shipped to Qatar in co-operation with the concerned authorities.
The organisers used CRA's award-winning the E-Spectrum Services Portal to submit their requests to use the temporary frequencies. The E-Spectrum Portal, launched in January 2017, is the public interface of the CRA's Automated Frequency Management System.
The E-Spectrum Portal can be accessed online. It allows spectrum users to submit applications online for issuing, modifying, or cancelling their spectrum licences. Users can also view active licences, track submitted applications, register radio network/ area deployments, view invoices and make online payments.
Large-scale events typically require the use of the radio spectrum for activities such as broadcast coverage, surveillance, managing spectators and security, and high-quality radiocommunication within assigned bands of the radio spectrum is essential for smooth operations.
The CRA continues to play crucial role in the success of these high profile events within its mandate and will continue to support all future events.
