Presentation on Spectrum Management in Bangladesh

1. Presentation on Spectrum Management in Bangladesh
Presented by
Md.Sharif Uddib Shajib
Roll:06

2. Current Legal and Management Structure
• Spectrum Management Committee recommends to the Regulatory
Commission named BTRC for assigning frequency from different bands to
various organizations. Upon recommendations, the Commission has
assigned frequencies to mobile operators, PSTN operators, Broadband
Wireless Access service providers, satellite TV channels, Aeronautical and
Maritime communications, Private Mobile Radio (Walkie Talkie), Internet
Service Providers and Government organizations.

3. Organizations Using Spectrum
• Mobile operators (4 operators)
• PSTN operators (2 operators)
• BroadbandWireless Service operators
• ISP
• Satellite andTerrestrial TV channels
• Radio Broadcasting
• Security agencies
• Govt. organizations
• Private organizations
• Foreign missions
• Aeronautical services
• Maritime services

Bangladesh: high population density but significantly low spectrum allocation per operator
Other Countries: low population density but high spectrum allocation per operator
This is leading to high effective spectrum load; more in urban areas

11. Infrastructure available for Spectrum
Monitoring
• Vehicle mounted Spectrum monitoring setup
• Hand held/ Shoulder mounted spectrum monitoring devices
