Indonesia and Malaysia have agreed on the technical parameters for Digital Sound Broadcasting (DSB) on February 27-28, 2024.
This agreement marks a significant step in enhancing broadcasting standards between the two countries. Both countries emphasized the importance of mutual understanding and continuous communication to ensure the radio frequency spectrum meets each other’s needs without interference.
Frequency Allocation for International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT)
The two countries have also reached an agreement on the use of the 3.3 GHz and 3.5 GHz frequencies for International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT). This includes reviewing the distribution of channels and aligning with ITU parameters for these frequencies, which are crucial for advancing mobile telecommunications.
Project Coordination & Task Force Meeting Updates
The Directorate General of Postal and Information Resources and Equipment (Ditjen SDPPI) in Indonesia is working closely with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to regulate frequency allocation and resolve interference issues, particularly in border areas. The ongoing collaboration aims to ensure spectrum harmonization and mitigate frequency interference.
The 11th Special Task Force meeting, a routine agenda between Indonesia and Malaysia, addressed several key issues. Discussions included microwave-link regulations, joint measurement proposals, and FM Broadcasting Radio. These updates are essential for maintaining effective communication and coordination on spectrum use.
