ATDI leads hands-on workshop for Asian broadcasters and regulators.
Under the auspices of the Asian Broadcasting Union and the ITU, ATDI and Broadcast Australia jointly conducted the ‘UHF-VHF BAND PLANNING FOR DIGITAL TV BROADCASTING SERVICES’ workshop in Kuala Lumpur, from July 21-24 2008. Participants hailed from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Indonesia, India, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, UAE, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam, with an even mix of regulators and broadcasters.

This workshop provided both theoretical and hands-on sessions, with a vast contribution of real-world experience brought in by both ATDI and Broadcast Australia, as well as the numerous broadcasters and regulators who attended the workshop. ICS telecom, ATDI’s flagship radio planning tool, was used extensively during the hands-on sessions and generated enormous interest and praise from the participants.

The level of participation to this workshop, and the extent and intensity of discussions, reflects the growing importance of DTTV in the region, and underlines ATDI’s commitment to providing state of the art software solutions and services to the broadcast and regulatory community.

Long Term Evolution (LTE) with ICS telecom!
The rising E-UTRA technologies such as LTE are easily handled by ICS telecom. This sophisticated planning tool is uniquely designed to cope with the specific characteristics of LTE such as :
- wide frequency band (from 700MHz to 2.6GHz);
- large choice of possible bandwidths (from 1.4MHz to 20MHz);
- FDD or TDD modes;
- MIMO antennas;
- ...
ICS telecom includes features dedicated to the spectrum management of an LTE network with specific scheme like DL OFDMA and UL SC-FDMA. It also handles handover analysis with existing technologies (WiMAX, 3G, ...), advanced site selection (reuse or add new), thereby greatly facilitating the radio planning process for operators who are implementing LTE technology gradually. Of course, the band sharing analysis and optimization :
- between operators,
- between different technologies (WiMAX, CDMA, ...),
- between neighboring countries,
are only a few clicks away...

ICS telecom can also help to compare the pros and cons of different technologies, as well as to select or validate equipment performance.

Thanks to its built-in versatility and flexibility, ICS telecom is the long-term radio planning tool of choice for evolving technologies and planning needs.

HCM (Harmonised Calculation Method)
ATDI is the first software provider to offer a complete open-database solution for the 2005 HCM agreement for fixed service and land mobile service. This solution is fully integrated in the ICS spectra suite edition, ATDI's solution for regulators. Thanks to the new HCM module, users will be able to make coordination calculations according to the Vilnius 2005 agreement with a few clicks of the mouse.

The HCM module features:
• Complete integration of the HCM tools (Border, Morphological, Topographical data + programs).
• Easy selection of the appropriate program version (6.xx or 7 for mobile, 2.0x for fixed).
• Coordination calculations (Transmitters vs Receivers, Transmitters vs Lines).
• Audit function to keep track of incoming and outgoing coordinations.
• Exchange of lists.

GE06 (Geneva 2006)
ATDI's software suites ICS spectra edition and ICS Broadcast edition enables a complete planning process for Terrestrial digital radio-communication services (T-DAB and DVB-T) according to the procedure approved in Geneva during the RRC06 meeting.

The GE06 module features:
• Connection to GE06 database.
• Import of Assignments and Allotments from the GE06 database.
• Import/Export of GE06 electronic notices (GS1, GT1, GS2, GT2, GA1).
• Integration of the revised 1546 propagation model.
• Computation of calculation points from any entry to the GE06 plan.
• Comparison of a plan entry’s calculation point versus real networks.

The three-day meeting was hosted by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). Delegates representing the telecommunications regulatory authorities and media authorities at the AGCC, Yemen, Iraq and Iran took part in the meeting. The aim of this meeting was to simplify the coordination procedures between these countries, where natural geography (warm waters, very large and very small countries in the same area) proves a particular challenge to broadcast coordination.
ATDI, twice sponsor of this event, was delighted to see how its system, in use at TRA and at other regulators present at the meeting, was instrumental in accelerating calculations, facilitating decision making, and bringing consensus into the discussion groups.

India Telecommunications Summit 2007
4- 5th October 2007, Shangri-La Hotel, New Delhi, India

ATDI facilitated a WiMAX workshop on Wednesday 03 October 2007 in New Delhi focusing on fixed and mobile WiMAX fundamentals, network planning for coverage, capacity and spectrum planning.
This workshop was important to people interested in understanding, planning and deploying fixed and mobile WiMAX Networks.
The Workshop included a detailed review of WiMAX fixed and mobile technologies, standards and focused on the processes involved.
Forty people attended this particular WiMAX workshop which was a great opportunity to share experiences, exchange knowledge, even if the spectrum policy was not already defined by the authorities.

During this two day conference the authorities Minister of Communications & IT and the Department of Telecoms emphasised the growing needs of the Indian Market and their increasing interest in mobile WiMAX technologies which evidently demonstrates the significant role ATDI continues to play in this fast growing market. Consistent and quick to respond to customer needs our aim is to satisfy their requirements with the skills to meet challenges inherent in radio communication networks and planning.

General considerations in WiMAX technologies
WiMAX™ is based upon the IEEE 802.16 standard enabling the delivery of wireless broadband services anytime, anywhere. WiMAX products can accommodate fixed and mobile usage models. The IEEE 802.16 standard was developed to deliver non-line-of-sight (LoS) connectivity between a subscriber station and base station with typical cell radius of three to ten kilometers. All base stations and subscriber stations claiming to be WiMAX compliant must go through a rigorous WiMAX Forum Certified™ testing process. WiMAX Forum Certified systems can be expected to deliver capacity of up to 40 Mbps per channel. This is enough bandwidth to simultaneously support hundreds of businesses with T-1 speed connectivity and thousands of residences with DSL speed connectivity. The WiMAX Forum expects mobile network deployments to provide up to 15 Mbps of capacity within a typical cell radius of up to three kilometers. WiMAX technology already has been incorporated in notebook computers and PDAs to deliver high speed mobile Internet services anytime, anywhere.
