Brasilia - The board of the National Telecommunications Agency ( Anatel ) approved today ( 31 ) the proposed allocation of the band 700 megahertz ( MHz ) , currently used by broadcasters, for the cell phone industry for the supply of technology 4G . With this, the agency can begin work on drafting the auction notice , scheduled for next year.
The resolution adopted establishes mechanisms to protect the TV channels to avoid interference in the signal or loss of coverage after they migrate to other frequencies . The costs of relocation and protection against such interference should be banked by the winners of the auction , ie , companies that will offer 4G service . "The measure creates greater security for the broadcasting industry ," says the rapporteur of the matter , counselor Rodrigo Zerbone.
The resolution will serve as a parameter for making the announcement and regulations against interference and channel migration. It is expected to be offered at least four national lots in the auction .
The 700 MHz band will complement the range of 2.5 MHz , which was auctioned in June last year , also for 4G technology . While the frequency of 2.5 GHz has more capacity and coverage radius smaller than 700 MHz has a wider scope and requires fewer antennas. " The process for the allocation of the band represents a significant gain for the broadband market and access of the general population to broadband services of high quality with lower prices and gain in quality and breadth of range," said Zerbone .
The 700 MHz band is used by TV channels open between the channels 52 and 69 must vacate the spectrum bands migrating to lower frequencies. The resolution provides for a guard band to avoid interference with the TV signal after migration.
