Maximum Benefit from Experience

USERgroup 2022


Let us build our future together and shape the LS telcom product family in the direction our users want and need it to go. Take this opportunity to learn more about our products, maintenance concepts and future developments, and learn useful product tips and tricks to help you in your daily work.

In addition, you can participate in the discussions with other USERgroup members and learn from each other during our question-and-answer sessions. Do not miss the opportunity to present and share your ideas for new product features during the virtual USERgroup sessions.

This year's USERgroup conference will be sliced into the five working parties as in previous years, with each working party corresponding to one Live-Video-Session. Only one Live-Video-Session will be held per conference day, enabling you to participate in several working parties.

Broadcast Planning & Coordination with CHIRplus_BC

Regulators and operators on all continents use our software CHIRplus_BC to plan and coordinate their broadcast networks. They plan networks of all technologies – analogue and digital – from single transmitters to local, regional, and national networks. We also have broadcast experts dedicated to participating in national and international study groups to ensure that latest standards and regulations are integrated into CHIRplus_BC without delay.

We sold the first version of CHIRplus_BC in 1993. Since then, our CHIRplus_BC development team regularly takes into account the feedback and user experience of our numerous customers. Users of CHIRplus_BC unite annually since 1995 in our USERgroup to provide their experience with the software and to make recommendations for its future evolution.

This year's session on Broadcast Planning & Coordination with CHIRplus_BC focuses on the following points:

  • Improvement of the automatic processing capabilities (macro commands)
  • Updated LTE-based 5G broadcast calculation capabilities to Release 17

Please note: The session is scheduled for Wed. Nov. 9, 2022, from 12:00pm - 3:30pm (UTC+1). The exact timetable will be released and send to you soon.

Internet and Intranet based License and Application Processing with SPECTRAplus, SPECTRAweb and mySPECTRA

In line with the diversification and commercialization of radio technologies there has been a constant increase in demand for frequency spectrum and its commercial value. The arrival of 5G is another leap towards a greater variety of wireless applications, more connected objects, and new spectrum users, such as from vertical markets and the Internet of Things (IoT).

National regulatory authorities and network operators are under increasing pressure to make sure the radio spectrum is used efficiently. Automated systems have to deal with an increasing number of incoming applications and the associated data volumes.

LS telcom has been in business since the very beginning of automated spectrum management and has grown with the market. We combine sound knowledge and expertise in the spectrum management profession with the most advanced software and information technology available.

This session focuses on the following points:

  • mySPECTRA – DevSecOps – Cloud based IT system technology, security and efficiency
  • Configurability of the mySPECTRA platform

Please note: The session is scheduled for Wed. Nov. 16, 2022, from 12:00pm - 3:30pm (UTC+1). The exact timetable will be released and send to you soon.
