DTTB Frequency Planning & Measurement (9THA14022)
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) of Thailand has its mandates to put in place policy and regulatory frameworks and ensuring digital broadcasting services in Thailand. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), pursuant to the outcomes of WTDC-2010, is also mandated to assist member countries and regulators in smooth transition from analogue to digital terrestrial TV broadcasting.
Considering the above and in order for Thailand to smoothly migrate from analogue to digital broadcasting, ITU and NBTC are implementing a project on transition from analogue to digital TV broadcasting in Thailand. Under this project, the following results are expected, among others:
· Revision and finalization of roadmap on the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting;
· Policy and regulatory frameworks for DTTB including spectrum-related and broadcasting service licence-related matters;
· Technical evaluation of a trial/pilot transmission of digital terrestrial TV broadcasting project in Thailand;
Enhanced skills of the Office of NBTC, and other relevant local stakeholders. |

Feasibility study of restoring connectivity through the use of the Moveable and Deployable ICT Resource Unit (MDRU) (9PHI14003)
Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) the strongest recorded typhoon to make landfall devastated the Visayas region of the Philippines on November 8, 2013. The typhoon devastated much of the telecommunications network in the region for a significant amount of time, which slowed down the process of aid recovery and disaster management by local and national authorities.
In this regard, ITU in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), Japan will provide a Movable And Deployable ICT Resource Unit (MDRU) in the island of Cebu in the Philippines in order to study feasibility for restoring basic telecommunication infrastructure that was destroyed by typhoon Haiyan.
MIC and DOST agreed to cooperate to conduct the study on the feasibility and deployment of an MDRU solution in Cebu Island and requested ITU to support this activity.
This project therefore is about addressing a need and responding to the Philippine Government’s request for assistance to restore connectivity in one of the worst affected islands by typhoon Haiyan, by using the specific technology employed by MDRU, which is acknowledged by DOST as the preferable technology for responding to the aforementioned need. |
