  1. Digital TV and DD in Macedonia Jane Jakimovski Head of Radiocommunications Department

  2. Goals • Full digital broadcast of terrestrial television program services in the Republic of Macedonia on 1 June 2013 • All existing broadcasters at national, regional and local level to move from analog to digital broadcast of their television programming services and • 790-862 MHz frequency band from 1 September 2013 to begin to be used for providing mobile communications services of the Fourth Generation

  3. Analogue TV channels 513 analogue frequencies

  4. Terrestrial Broadcasters • National level • 3 channels for Public broadcaster (more than half of the assigned frequencies) • 4 channels for commercial broadcasters • Regional level • 10 channels for commercial broadcasters in the capitol Skopje • Local level • 47 commercial broadcasters

  5. Pay TV platform • In2009, 3 MUX were assigned for pay TV to Slovenia Telecom *red channels should be changed (are not GE06 or fall into DD)

  6. Public broadcaster • In the beginning of 2012, 2 MUX are assigned to the Macedonian Public Broadcasting company JP MRD according to the Law

  7. Current situation • Slovenia Telekom 3 MUX (36 locations) • JP MRD 2 MUX (3 locations)

  8. Ongoing activities • Public call for rest of the MUX (3): • The operator may use the radio frequencies after the switch- off the analogue TV i.e. after June 1, 2013 • 2 MUX for national and 1 MUX for Regional coverage • All domestic and foreign operators of public electronic communication networks may apply • Technology neutral license (DVB-T or DVB-T2)

  9. Plans for Digital Dividend band

  10. LTE usage in the 900/1800 MHz • Offers a cost effective opportunity of introducing LTE services in areas covered by 900 MHz networks • The cost savings originate from the significantly larger cell size of 900 MHz networks compared to higher frequency bands networks • There is no doubt that refarming of 900 and 1800 MHz bands to LTE should be allowed, but the point in time when this refarming should take place has to be considered
