  1. ITU-T Workshop on Bridging the Standardization Gapand Interactive Training Session (Nadi, Fiji, 4 – 6 July 2011 ) Digital dividend from broadcasting and mobile perspectives Cristian Gomez Head, Validation Group, Space Services Division, ITU-R

  2. Digital dividend from broadcasting and mobile perspectives • This session will provide an overview of the current harmonization efforts towards analogue television switch-off in the different ITU regions and also a discussion of the harmonization landscape for mobile broadband in the digital dividend spectrum.

  3. Overview • Digital Dividend ≠ Digital Divide!

  4. Overview Digital Dividend: digital terrestrial TV Use spectrum more efficiently: more TV in less spectrum More spectrum for mobile broadband: 4G Innovative radio technologies: white space

  5. Europe + Africa: GE06 agreement for digital broadcasting • 2001 – ITU Council decided to plan for digital broadcasting in the European Broadcasting Area (ST61) • 2002 – decided to include countries in Africa and Middle East • 2002 – RCC countries included by Plenipotentiary conference (Marrakesh)

  6. Europe + Africa: GE06 agreement for digital broadcasting. Plan for 120 countries

  7. Europe + Africa: GE06 Agreement TV frequency bands in question: VHF Band III: 174-230 MHz UHF Bands IV & V: 470-862 MHz Technology: Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-T) For television with four reception modes of fixed, mobile, portable indoor and outdoor

  8. In Europe + Africa: GE06 Agreement. Objectives • Agree on date for Transition to Digital • Establish a digital frequency plan • - Adopt an Agreement that sets out the procedures for making changes to the frequency plan and to bring the frequency assignments into operation.

  9. Europe + Africa: GE06 Agreement • The Agreement entered into force on 17 June 2007 • Transition: 17 June 2015, but some countries preferred an additional five-year extension for the VHF band (174-230 MHz). • At the end of the transition period, countries may continue to operate analogue broadcasting stations provided that these stations • do not cause unacceptable interference • do not claim protection

  10. Transition map UHF: 17/6/2015 VHF: • 17/6/2015 • 17/6/2020 • 17/6/2020

  11. World overview: DTT adoption

  12. Analogue switch off: spectrum decisions for mobile broadband

  13. Implications: hardware availability More digital TV… less analogue hardware New mobile technologies… market choices

  14. US band plan

  15. US band plan

  16. US band plan

  17. European Union band plan

  18. APT band plan

  19. 4G mobile broadband landscape USA: 698 – 806 MHz (2 x 12 MHz blocks + 2 x 11 MHz blocks) Europe: 790 – 862 MHz (2 x 30 MHz blocks with 11 MHz center gap) Asia Pacific: 698 – 806 MHz (2 x 45 MHz blocks with 10 MHz center gap)

  20. 4G mobile broadband landscape LTE & WiMax (channel sizes up to 20 MHz for maximum data rate ≈ 100 Mbps) Roaming considerations Markets for sourcing handsets and base stations
