Responsible use

Goal and impact

The algorithm helps an inspector compare inspection data found on site with recorded licensed data. This reduces the likelihood of errors. Furthermore, this algorithm promotes efficient and consistent working methods.

Considerations

The algorithm is used in a tool provided with permits to inspect. Inspections require a lot of travel time and effort from inspectors. The tool supports the inspection process by processing inspected data uniformly where differences with the licensed data are immediately visible.

Human intervention

The outcome of the algorithm is a pure application of calculations on measurement data observed by the inspector, the outcome of which is compared with the licensed data. Differences lead to findings, which the inspector always assesses manually first. Thus, no automatic decision-making takes place based on the algorithm's results.

Risk management

The algorithm poses no specific risks. It is important to ensure the quality of the algorithm. This is done by monitoring and maintaining the algorithm.

Legal basis

The Telecommunications Act is a Dutch law that sets rules for (providers of) communication networks and services. Among other things, it regulates user protection, providers' duty of care for safety and security and sets obligations for network operators.

Elaboration on impact assessments

As the algorithm is not classified as impactful and does not otherwise use personal data, no specific impact tests were performed.

Operations

Data

The algorithm does not use personal data. Licence data used are licensed power, frequency and any antenna coordinates. These are compared with the measured and calculated transmit power at the relevant location.

Technical design

Besides direct comparison of coordinates and the presence of a licence, a calculation is applied to determine the transmission power. This uses the measured signal strength, the length and nature of the cabling and the characteristics of the equipment used. The algorithm is not trained or self-learning.
