Utilization of the Digital Dividend - interference
Procedure of eliminating the potential interference to DVB-T
receivers defined in cooperation with operators (DVB-T and
mobile)
HAKOM finances the filters for users, other interferences are in
the responsibility of the mobile operators
Currently there is around 80 LTE800 base stations in operation
No reported interferences up till now – no big investments,
base stations mostly in rural areas
In next year cases of base stations in urban areas are expected
– potential interference
