WMTS Frequency Coordination Database

Welcome to the frequency coordination page for the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS).  If you have registered your facility with ASHE and have received your login and password, you can access the WMTS Frequency Coordination Database and enter medical telemetry deployments.

Getting Started

We have developed a training presentation that takes you through a "step-by-step" process on how to register your medical telemetry system and answers many questions about the information required to register deployment.  Please follow this link to Access the WMTS Coordination Database Training Presentation.  You will be able to download a file containing a PowerPoint training presentation.
Note:  This presentation was last updated in June 2002.

Who can use the system?
Authorized healthcare providers or equipment vendors can access the database and enter new medical telemetry systems, view their own deployments or modify existing ones.

What constitutes a deployment?
A deployment is defined as a single manufacturer's telemetry system within the healthcare facility.  Therefore, a hospital may have multiple deployments that are entered as separate records in the database if they have multiple equipment vendors.  The number of medical telemetry transmitters determines the size of a deployment.
