Luanda-The Minister of Telecommunications, Information Technologies and Media Mário Oliveira on Friday in Luanda, urged for strict compliance with the broadcasting rules, mainly from the point of view of signal level frequencies.
Speaking at the opening of the workshop on “Dialogue with the Regulator”, the minister said, radiated power, modulation deviation and channel bandwidth must be taken into account in this process, under penalty of non-compliance causing damage to the environment.
The damage, the minister said, could be to human health, as well as interference in adjacent channels or services, with emphasis on aeronautical mobile service, which supports communications between planes and control towers and the auxiliary signaling service for aerial navigation.
The minister recalled that broadcasting plays an essential role in education, information and socio-cultural and economic training, which aims to disseminate information and other related content, to which the vast majority of the population has access as listeners.
Mario Oliveira stressed that the government has instructed Angola Telecommunications Institute to implement the integrated Radio Spectrum Management and Numbering System, whose results have been visible in the continuous improvement of working conditions and proactive supervision of the spectrum at national level.
Run under the theme “Technical parameters of broadcasting”, it aimed to bring together and promote dialogue between the regulatory body, broadcasting operators and other interested parties in issues linked to the regulatory processes and procedures of the electronic communications market.
It also sought to raise awareness and alert broadcasting operators and users of this service, about the principles, standards and procedures that must be observed in the process of radio implementation and broadcasting, as well as about the dangers arising from non-compliance with the aforementioned parameters established internationally and by the national frequency plan.
Members of the Ministry of Telecommunications, Information Technologies and Social Communication, CEOs of public and private media bodies, as well as directors of several radio stations attended the event.
