Radio Regulation, with the Participation of ANATEL and the Ministry of Communications
Recent research confirms that radio remains a global leader in coverage and audience. Leveraging the power of audio and “visual” aspects through its technical peculiarities of subcarriers, such as RDS (Radio Data System), disciplined and evolving in-car receivers, and the inevitable hybrid radio and connectivity. As a result, coverage standardization becomes crucial for preserving the service model, with antenna validation and their radiation patterns. Discrepancies between licensed and covered areas, as well as the impact on licensing fees and spectral interference, will also be addressed.
The panel will be moderated by members of the SET Radio Group, who will highlight the need to enhance spectral preservation, considering the scarcity of frequencies even after the adoption of extended frequency bands in metropolitan areas, particularly in São Paulo.
