Spectrum planning assessment service helps new entrants and existing digital radio multiplex operators to navigate small-scale DAB licence applications

 Arqiva, the leading UK communications infrastructure and media services company, has launched a new small-scale DAB spectrum planning service in response to Ofcom’s plans to award new small-scale DAB licenses.

Leveraging Arqiva’s expertise in spectrum planning and proven technical application planning skills, the service will support potential small-scale DAB licensees in their applications for a licence. As part of the consultation package, Arqiva can provide desktop analysis and develop transmission plans for new entrants. Designed to make the technical element of the application process as simple as possible, the service will enable new licensees to plan, assess and provide the supporting documentation required to submit a winning application.

Arqiva is also able to offer an evaluation and formal response service for existing broadcast operators to fulfil their obligations as incumbent licensees, within the timelines stipulated by Ofcom.

Richard Johnston, Head of Radio at Arqiva, said: “We recognise the potentially daunting task of applying for DAB licences for small-scale DAB operators. Thanks to Arqiva’s heritage in spectrum planning and licence application, we can offer a supportive service to new entrants considering a licence application. For existing broadcasters, now faced with small-scale DAB licensee responses, our offering can assist with their Ofcom obligations. We want to give both our existing customers and new applicants the peace of mind that Arqiva will manage the complexities of spectrum analysis so they don’t have to.”

Those looking to apply for a small-scale DAB licence can enquire about the Arqiva service at https://www.arqiva.com/overviews/radio/small-scale-dab/

What if social media had existed in 1945, when the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima? This program constructs a timeline of imaginary tweets, based on actual diaries written by three Hiroshima citizens during  World War II. One was by a 13-year-old. Another was written by a 26-year-old newly wed, who prayed for her husband in the battlefield. The third was by a journalist. None of them had an inkling of the fate that awaited their city

A young boy carried the lifeless body of his even younger brother in Nagasaki, after the devastation that the atomic bomb brought. An American army photographer, Joe O’Donnell, took a picture of him waiting in line at a crematory. No one knows the boy’s name, but the photo has been seen around the world. This program shows the array of approaches being used to try to determine his identity. It also examines the struggles of other children who lost their parents to the bomb

What happened in Srebrenica:

In July 1995, half a century after the Holocaust, Europe witnessed another genocide. In the wake of Yugoslavia’s dissolution, thousands of civilians escaped to Srebrenica, a UN-designated safe area. However, under the watch of Dutch UN protection forces, the Bosnian Serb forces systematically massacred more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica. The ramifications of the massacre continue to haunt the victims’ families and the international community’s conscience.
