MIGRATION FROM ANALOGUE TO DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL BROADCASTING IN TANZANIA

By -

After a long discussion from 2005 on the status of the broadcasting industry in the country, and highlighting the current analogue system broadcasting and its shortcomings, It underscored the need to adopt digital broadcasting because of its immense advantages brought about by technological developments.
From that advantage, the United Republic of Tanzania plans to switch off Analogue broadcasting and switch on Digital broadcasting at 12.00 midnight of 31st December, 2012.
In order to attain at this stage, the following has been done by the Government:-
1: Issuing licenses to three Multiplex Operator (MUX), who will handle all the signal distribution functions. The multiplex operators are now laying infrastructures to enable the take-off of digital broadcasting.
The licensed Multiplex operators are;
·         Star Media Tanzania Limited
·         Agape Associates Ltd
·         Basic Transmissions Ltd (BTL)
 Multiplex operator is any person who provides the technical infrastructure for the terrestrial dissemination and bundling of digital programs and additional services contained in a digital data stream. In simplified terms, a multiplex operator is a network operator for digital terrestrial broadcasting, in particular DVB-T (digital terrestrial television), as well as mobile television based on broadcasting technologies.
Inorder to avoid any inconveniencies that might arise when analogue system is switched – off and switching – on  Digital broadcasting, TRA staff  and members of the public are adviced to buy decoders from above mentioned Multiplex Operator before 31st December, 2012 the electronic apparatus that will enable them continue to enjoy the TV broadcasting at their homes.
