– Short and medium term Spectrum needs of broadcasting
and mobile and ensure equitable and efficient access to the
spectrum
– Establishment of proper timelines and activities for the
review and modification of GE06 plan

General ATU Recommendations
• Maximum acceptable margin is 4dB
• the ATU summit:
– to consider the adoption of the MPEG4 and DVB-T2
standards at regional African level.
– to consider the adoption of the dual HDTV/SD format at
African regional level for the set-top boxes
• those administrations currently having more than this
resource be encouraged to make the utmost effort to release
part of it to enable neighbouring countries to reach up to that
level of resource.

Recommendations and decisions of
Dubai (May 2014) meeting
• Invite the Arab countries that did not start the introduction of DTT to use
modern techniques for such service: DVB-T2/MPEG-4 or later.
• Maximum acceptable margin is :
– 4dB, this margin will be used in the coordination between the Arab countries, giving the
freedom of States to use more or less stringent margins during bilateral coordination
meetings .
– 3 dB: Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Oman specified that for coordination with them, the
maximum acceptable margin would be of 3dB concerning the channels recorded in the
GE06 Plan and 4dB if against the requirements.
• 4 layers per Administration for this coordination period, knowing that this
number can be increased in the future, individually, and according to the
needs of the Arab states, according to GE06 Article 4 Procedures.
• An iteration each other Monday until the 3d meeting

Results of the GE06 coordination
meeting for ASMG
•
•
•
•
•
Average of satisfied requirements: 76.87%:
Duration: 11 months.
17 countries participated.
3 planning and coordination meetings: Dubai, Hammamet and Marrakech.
27 iterations for the compatibility analysis, based on the requirements
submitted by administrations. The BR generated the requirements for the
absent countries following the ASMG request.
• 4346 submitted frequency requirements in 470-694 MHz (9151 at the RRC06 for the entire band 470-862 MHz).
Conclusion on BR actions
• Generated the initial requirements with flexible channels (to
reach at least 4 layers);
• Provided the necessary software and tools;
• Workshops and training on the GE06 tools and frequency
planning;
• Assistance in sub regional coordination meetings;
• An Iteration each 2 weeks (from the beginning of the process
until its end);
• Generates the requirements for the ‘absent’ administrations
(4 layers);
• Assistance all along the process.
