The project of the Centralized Radio-Monitoring System is being implemented by the State Administration of Radiofrequencies (SARF), a subordinate body of the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport. The project envisages the creation of a radio-monitoring system that can be controlled from a single center in the country.

Thanks to the creation of this system, the protection and efficient use of radio frequency spectrum in accordance with modern requirements and technological trends, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility and smooth operation of radio electronic devices, control over radio frequencies in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and operational and technical control of radio communications. will be ensured.

The project provides for the deployment of a system control center in Baku. Remote-controlled radio monitoring stations will be gradually installed in 50 points throughout the country, including the territories liberated from occupation. These radio monitoring stations are planned to be installed in strategic places – border areas, economic and industrial zones, venues for mass events and other places.

Main advantages of the Centralized Radio-Monitoring System

• Control over rational and effective use of radiofrequencies;
• Frequency spectrum monitoring at any time;
• More flexible detection, radio monitoring and analysis of broadcast radio signals;
• Automatic verification of detected radio signals for compliance with a unified registration database;
• Determination of location and parameters of detected radio electronic devices (RED);
• Organization of control over ensuring smooth use of radio frequencies;
• Prompt access to relevant information to ensure security of broadcasting and information;
• Sending information to the relevant authorities through the system in accordance with ITU recommendations and international standards for timely detection of external broadcasts and taking appropriate measures;
• Organization and automation of daily radio control, radio monitoring of SARF;
• Archiving of information on the use of radio communications and other radio frequencies.
• Detection and systematic analysis of non-standard and non-conforming REDs and radio signals;
• Ensuring on-air security at international events.

Expected results

The implementation of the project will be aimed at the strengthening control over the security of broadcasting, continuous and systematic monitoring of the radio spectrum, conducting analytical study, obtaining dynamic reports, archiving processes taking place on the air and will also allow performing other necessary work promptly.

It is expected that after the installation and commissioning of the radio monitoring system, the number of radio electronic devices registered with the State Administration of Radio Frequencies and number of radio signals to be analyzed will increase. On the other hand, the system will monitor the effective use of radio frequencies, which in turn will allow assessing the effectiveness of the use of allocated radio frequency nominals. As a result, new opportunities will open up for more efficient use of unused frequency resources, and appropriate measures will be taken to ensure the intensive use of these frequency bands. All of this will ensure the strengthening of control over the safety of on-air broadcasting.
