Slide1: ITU Regional Radio-Communication Seminar Bali, Indonesia 16-20 May 2005 Review of Regional activities by E. Behdad


Slide2: Agenda Activities related to Broadcasting issues Frequency Planning for: Bhutan Indonesia Afghanistan Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting DSB DTTB Activities related to Spectrum Management andamp; Radio Monitoring Establishment of National Spectrum Management Myanmar Afghanistan East Timor Training courses on Radio Monitoring Development of a new software for Developing countries (SMS4DC)


Slide3: Bhutan Broadcasting Project Master Frequency Plan for FM andamp; TV Broadcasting A thorough sight surveying through the whole country Developing frequency plans for TV and FM. Identifying the location of TV andamp; FM stations; and Proposing appropriate distribution links between the studio(s) and TX Current situation: A 1 KW TV transmitter covers Thimphu A 50 KW - SW transmitter covers Radio programmes all over the country One 20 W FM TX andamp; three 1KW Repeaters cover western parts of the country Distribution of TV programmes: Mainly through cable networks with some days daly and existing TXs. Obstacle for Nationwide coverage: lack of distribution links between the studios and transmitter stations identified in master frequency plan due to country’s mountainous situation. Solution, Implementation of ITU Satellite Up-Link andamp; TVRO project Establishing a Satellite Up-link Station in Thimphu, Establishing TVRO stations in Rural Areas that are electrified. Current situation of Up-link project, ITU is looking for a partner to sponsor 50% of project costs.


Slide4: Phase II Review the developed plan by National experts for the rest of the country and modify it wherever is needed. Study compatibility of all Frequency Licenses issued in Indonesia for TV andamp; FM with newly developed master Frequency Plan, Enhance the trained staff abilities with further training on the shortcoming issues that have been identified in their developed plan.
