Optiemus partners Germany based LS Spectrum to launch Drone-Based Spectrum Analyzer Solutions in India

Optiemus Unmanned Systems Private Limited (OUS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Optiemus Infracom Limited (a leading telecommunications and electronics manufacturing group in India), today announced its partnership with LS Spectrum Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a leading provider of advanced drone-based spectrum analyzers and a subsidiary of Germany-based LS Telecom AG for the marketing, assembly, and distribution of LS Spectrum’s cutting-edge drone-based spectrum analysis solutions within the Indian market. Giving further momentum to its Drone business and ‘Make in India’, Optiemus’ partnership with LS Spectrum will be a game changer for its defence offerings and will provide the company a significant edge in the market. This partnership has the potential to extend beyond drone-based solutions, delving into the market for managing, observing and defence of Spectrum thru various capabilities like spectrum surveillance, direction finding and geolocation, Electronic Support Measures, Signals Intelligence, Electronic Counter Measures, etc.

Through this strategic partnership, initially Optiemus will sell the advanced spectrum analyser drones for LS Spectrum. These products are poised to transform spectrum monitoring across multiple sectors especially in defence. LS Spectrum brings to the table its deep expertise in spectrum analysis technology to deliver value to the India Market and meet the objectives of ‘Make In India’. These drones will support seamless detection and analysis of spectrum usage, enabling improved management of communication frequencies in India.

The partnership reflects a commitment for both the companies to contribute towards the deploying of state-of-the-art telecom and drone-based solutions for the Indian market. Leveraging its local expertise and infrastructure, OUS will cater to a wide range of sectors—including telecommunications, defense, homeland security, and civil aviation—empowering Indian organizations with cost-effective, precise and innovative solutions tailored for spectrum analysis and monitoring.

Mr. Ashok Gupta, Chairman, Optiemus Infracom said, “We are excited to expand the portfolio of our products and services being offered by OUS.  We look at this collaboration as a perfect opportunity to leverage our Distribution and localization capabilities to deliver quality solutions for the Indian defence, homeland security and aviation industry and forging global partnerships to take forward the Make-in-India story.

Mr. Prasad Kerkar, Director, LS Spectrum Solutions said, “Its truly a milestone for us as through this MoU, we reinforce our commitment to contributing to India’s growing technology landscape by introducing sophisticated, one-of-its kind drone-based spectrum solutions in the country. We aim to increase awareness and adoption of these innovative products across India and work closely with Optiemus. We are upbeat on opportunities in India and will be actively engaging with local stakeholders to showcase the capabilities of our unique solutions.”

“Through this partnership, we will be also looking at developing solutions to address the issue of unauthorized cellular activity, such as illicit communications originating from prisons in India,” Mr. Kerkar said.

The UAVs will enable real-time monitoring of communication frequencies, which is critical for managing spectrum resources, especially in high-demand areas like telecommunications and civil aviation. Additionally, they will be able to enhance security by allowing defence and homeland security sectors to conduct surveillance and detect unauthorized spectrum activities. By deploying drones for spectrum analysis, organizations can operate efficiently in challenging environments, realizing significant time and cost savings compared to traditional spectrum monitoring methods. As per the recent EY – FICCI report titled, “Making India the drone hub of the world”, the drone and its components industry can significantly strengthen India’s manufacturing potential to US$23 billion approximately by 2030.
