UHF digital TV broadcasting and WRC-2015

Broadcasters deliver their products and services over the radio waves reaching millions of viewers and listeners. Until recently, frequency spectrum for broadcasting services, more so for UHF TV broadcasting, was easily available. But now mobile communication services, among many others, have laid claims on the UHF frequency bands. Preparations are underway globally to find appropriate solutions since the two services cannot share the same spectrum in a compatible manner. The World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 will take up the possible allocation of the UHF TV band for mobile communication. Expectations are that the decisions of the conference will have an adverse impact on TV broadcasting in the UHF frequency bands.
