General Radio Frequency Centre Building 15, 7 Derbenevskaya Embankment 117997 Moscow E-mail: [email protected] Your 6.10.16 No MC-2523 Our 16.11.16 No 18-5/15-0084-015 Coordination of a digital frequency new allotments/assignments Dear Mr Ivanyak, Thank you for your reply to ETRA (Estonian Technical Regulatory Authority) proposal for a re-allocation of TV channels in the frequency band 694-790 MHz in border areas between the Russian Federation and Est onia. We can understand your concerns using VYBORG ch 60 but we would like to get your ideas and response to our proposals concerning re-allocations of the following Russian allotments that were i ndicated in our 12.07.2016 letter (No 18-5/15-0084-013 ): GDOV (RUS501030) from current channel 50 to proposed channel 57; SANKT-PETERBURG (RUS511099) from current channel 51 to proposed channel 55; GDOV (RUS531030) from current channel 53 to proposed channel 58 and PUSHKINSKIE_GORY (RUS53659) from current channel 53 to proposed channel 57. According to our understanding, such re-allocation of currently implemented frequency resources should not have any restricting effect to future DTV network planning and the introduction the future HD DTV multiplexes. Also we found your proposal very interesting that we might use digital entries in the GE06 Plan for transmission in the mobile service. So, is it acceptable way forward , if we coordinate Estonian DTT allotments Kohtla, Koeru and Valgjärve channels 50-53 and 57-60? Of course, equality of access, protection of DTT assignments and other issues need to be addressed separately. In addition, ETRA is waiting the response to our coordination request from 25.08.2016 (No 18-5/16-0035-014). We would also appreciate your comments on our proposal to arrange a meeting between the technical experts of the Russian Federation and Estonia in the beginning of the next year. Yours sincerely, Alo Einla Head of Frequency Management Department Vladimir Jakovlev + 372 667 2123; e-mail: vladimir.jakovlev @tja.ee
