Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the results of the finished activities and also give an overview of the future activities concerning the allocation of the second digital dividend band in Croatia. The biggest task is the switchover of free-to-air DVB-T networks to the DVB-T2 system. The completion of this task will mean that the second digital dividend band is free and it can be allocated to mobile services. A lot of preparation has been done in order to complete this task, such as the publication of the Recommendation on minimum receiver technical requirements for the reception of DVB-T2 signal in the Republic of Croatia in 2017. Additionally, this paper describes future promotion activities for the allocation of the second digital dividend band in Croatia.
