Investment Plan


The investment plan prepared for the 2009-2011 period focuses on areas of a vital importance for ICP-ANACOM's activities, particularly the modernization of both the technical and the supporting components. In fact, investment allocation aims to create the adequate and needed conditions for the communications sector regulation and supervision activities, which are entrusted to this Authority by the statutes.

The follow-up of the evolution of the techniques for spectrum and communications management, both regarding operation and supervision, has been a constant concern for ICP-ANACOM and is again at the centre of the investment effort foreseen for the triennium.

On the other hand, basic technological update in the scope of information systems and technologies, both at the level of equipment and in the development of appropriate software applications, deserves a special mention, since supporting tools are considered essential in order to guarantee the paramount conditions for the provision of the public service that the Authority purses, and because they stand for a relevant part of the considered investment budget.

Projects in the scope of spectrum management, as the modernization/maintenance of the laboratory capacity, technological re-equipment of spectrum monitoring and control (MCE), integrated monitoring (PMI), or in the scope of information systems, such as technological adaptation – technological architecture and platforms, ANACOM E-Government, decision support system and knowledge management systems, among others, included in the 2009-2011 plan, aim to pursue the orientation guidelines outlined in previous plans. They are of great importance for ICP-ANACOM, which is why they were meticulously defined.
