Slide 1: The essential services provided by PMSE need a Frequency Management Plan
The essential services provided by PMSE need a Frequency Management Plan Wolfgang Bilz APWPT, VP industry LSTelcom summit July 2014
Slide 2: PMSE = SAB/SAP
PMSE = SAB/SAP Program Making and Special Events. Which are: • Radio microphones. • Conference systems. • Wireless camera’s. • Wireless intercom. • Audio links (production). • Other wireless production tools (like effect control). Also known as: • SAB: Services Ancillary to Broadcasting. • SAP
Slide 3: Wireless microphones are used in many applications
Wireless microphones are used in many applications Special Events: Elections, Olympic Games, World Championships, Concerts, Theatres, Musicals, Musical Industry, Houses of Worship… Broadcast content production: Broadcast Facility Centers, Press Rooms, Motion Picture, Live Concert, DVD recording,
Slide 4: PMSE = SAB/SAP
PMSE = SAB/SAP Program Making and Special Events. Which are: • Radio microphones. • Conference Systems. • Wireless camera’s. ( e.g. 2,6 GHz) • Wireless intercom. • Audio links (production). • Other wireless production tools (like effect control). Also known as: • SAB: Services Ancillary to Bro
Slide 5: PMSE = SAB/SAP
PMSE = SAB/SAP Program Making and Special Events. Which are: • Radio microphones. • Conference Systems. UHF-TV band • Wireless camera’s. • Wireless intercom. • Audio links (production). • Other wireless production tools. Also known as: • SAB: Services Ancillary to Broadcasting. • SAP: Services
Slide 6: Wireless Microphones need protection
Wireless Microphones need protection • We need protection – first part of the production chain. .. for any Audio/Video production • UHF TV-band is the core band due it’s propagation characteristics. • Every other part to the production relies on the performance of wireless microphones LSTelcom summi
Slide 7: Digital Dividend Review: 790–862 MHz; 694–790 MHz?
Digital Dividend Review 790 – 862 MHZ; ? 694 – 790 MHZ ? • IMT does not offer sharing techniques. PMSE needs to leave these bands. • DVB-T transmitters in TV channels 61 to 69 are re- allocated below 790 MHz (= less available white space). .. and might be relocated below 694 MHz in the future? • All
Slide 8: The use of UHF-TV band becomes more complex
The use of UHF-TV band becomes more complex LSTelcom summit July 2014 8
Slide 9: PMSE usage – real scans: Lower Saxony state election
PMSE usage – real scans Lower Saxony state election, Hannover 2013 DKE AK 731.0.8 Estimation: required spectrum in a 600 kHz channel grid It should be noted: This estimated spectrum demand does not represent the real spectrum demand of PMSE; the real spectrum demand is significant higher. LSTelcom s
Slide 10: PMSE usage – real scans: Eurovision Song Contest
PMSE usage – real scans Eurovision Song Contest DKE AK 731.0.8 Estimation: required spectrum in a 600 kHz channel grid It should be noted: This estimated spectrum demand does not represent the real spectrum demand of PMSE; the real spectrum demand is significant higher. LSTelcom summit July 2014 10
Slide 11: PMSE usage – real scans: Einsiedler Welttheater
PMSE usage – real scans Outdoor Theatre production, Einsiedler Welttheater (CH) DKE AK 731.0.8 Estimation: required spectrum in a 600 kHz channel grid It should be noted: This estimated spectrum demand does not represent the real spectrum demand of PMSE; the real spectrum demand is significant highe
Slide 12: PMSE usage – real scans: Munich Oktoberfest
PMSE usage – real scans 180th Munich Oktoberfest DKE AK 731.0.8 Estimation: required spectrum in a 600 kHz channel grid It should be noted: This estimated spectrum demand does not represent the real spectrum demand of PMSE; the real spectrum demand is significant higher.

Slide 13: PMSE needs ~100 MHz interference free spectrum for daily work
PMSE needs ~ 100 MHz interference free spectrum for daily work • Further erosion of PMSE spectrum will hurt the PMSE community in the basis of their existence! • Big broadcast productions can no longer be produced the same way (Olympics, WorldsCups, elections, Eurovision Song Contest). • Social-cult
Slide 14: Frequency bands to be considered
Frequency bands to be considered Harmonised access / bands for PMSE: UHF TV-band L-band (still in discussion) LTE 800 MHz duplex centre gap (LTE interference? Is it usable for PMSE?) 1,8 GHz band duplex centre gap (LTE interference? Is it usable for PMSE?) VHF band (some spectrum records
Slide 15: PMSE manufacturers will support
PMSE manufacturers will support Improving spectrum efficiency Going digital is not THE solution Supporting new frequency bands Development time need to be considered Implementing new technologies Cognitive technologies are in development LSTelcom summit July 2014 15
Slide 16: PMSE asks for a harmonized regulatory framework
PMSE asks for: PMSE need protection (secondary user + higher protection = primary) New services should offer sharing technologies. IMT cannot share with other services / users Additional Frequency bands need to be assigned for PMSE usage … in a harmonized regulatory framework. LSTelcom summit
Slide 17: PMSE needs: Frequency Management Discussions
PMSE needs: Frequency Management Discussions finding solutions securing the essential services provided by PSME LSTelcom summit July 2014 17
