Fremont, CA – January 2023. TCI would like to congratulate the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) of Qatar for their successful conclusion to the FIFA World Cup Qatar.
Not only was the event efficiently run for hundreds of thousands of FIFA World Cup patrons, but behind the scenes CRA provided excellent communications for fans worldwide on their wireless devices during the entirety of the World Cup. In addition, all media and first responders had consistent clear channels of communication during the event.
In early 2022, CRA contracted with TCI International, Inc. to provide an upgraded network for radio frequency spectrum monitoring that provided enhanced radio frequency security during the event.
CRA’s installed RF monitoring network, consisting of seven TCI fixed spectrum monitoring stations, four TCI mobile spectrum monitoring stations, 13 TCI TDOA fixed stations, and two TCI TDOA transportable stations, provided continuous 24/7 spectrum monitoring from 9 kHz to 40 GHz. In addition, a full set of spare parts was delivered onsite that ensured continued operations during the event.
As part of their commitment to provide a stable and reliable radio spectrum, CRA implemented a special support services contract whereby two TCI senior field support engineers were onsite during the entire period of the World Cup. The engineers proactively monitored the health of the spectrum monitoring system and addressed any issues to guarantee that systems were in full operation at all times.
