The TM Forum has launched a Spectrum Management Web Community to facilitate discussion, collaboration, and contributions on the subject.  Through this community, the TM Forum intends to enrich its Frameworks and certification processes with “full-spectrum” guidance concerning architecture, processes, information and data models, applications, interfaces and testing.

Areas of specific interest include addressing the need for increased integration of spectrum management with network management, and providing an integrated architecture for dynamic, automated spectrum access solutions.
