Elektroniskie sakari (officially Valsts akciju sabiedrība "Elektroniskie sakari", or State Joint-Stock Company "Electronic Communications") is a Latvian state-owned communications administration company. It is responsible for the management of the radio frequency spectrum and numbering resources within the territory of Latvia. The company's capital shares are held by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development of the Republic of Latvia. The company was founded on 23 August 1991 as the Latvian State Electrotechnical Communications Inspectorate (Latvijas valsts elektrosakaru inspekcija). On 8 August 1997 it was re-registered as a non-profit organization, a state joint-stock company. On 14 October 2004 it was renamed the State Joint-Stock Company Electronic Communications Directorate (Valsts akciju sabiedrība Elektronisko sakaru direkcija). On 18 October 2011 the company acquired its current name, State Joint-Stock Company Elektroniskie sakari. Under regulatory enactments, Elektroniskie sakari performs state administration tasks and functions including: managing the radio frequency spectrum and numbering; providing electromagnetic compatibility and numbering assurance services; planning the technical use of the radio frequency spectrum and determining radio frequency assignments for radio equipment operation; assigning identification (call) signs to radio equipment; performing radio frequency spectrum monitoring and measurements of radio equipment parameters; examining reports of harmful radio interference in radio and television program reception and radio communications, identifying the sources of such interference and deciding on interference elimination; deciding on the termination of operation of radio equipment used in non-compliance with regulatory enactments; issuing amateur radio licences; and approving or rejecting technical projects for the installation of electronic communications network antennas, radio equipment, broadcasting transmitters and mobile communications base stations. Elektroniskie sakari cooperates with communications administrations of other countries and participates in the work of international institutions and organizations in the communications sector. To obtain information about the electromagnetic situation throughout the country, radio frequency spectrum monitoring points have been established in Riga, Liepāja, Ventspils, Rēzekne, Daugavpils and Valmiera. The company maintains a public-facing website at esakari.lv, offering services such as permits, a client portal, interference reporting, a price list, the National Radio Frequency Plan, a guide, and project information. It has also developed a digital browser for the National Radio Frequency Plan, making information about radio frequency band allocation easily searchable and reviewable online, replacing the previous manual browsing of the document.
