5G networks will turn cities into centers of high digital density




DTT is ready to face a new leap in technological innovation, quality and new services that consolidate it as the basic pillar of the European and Spanish audiovisual model on the 2030 horizon



   The road to 5G networks will turn cities into centers of high digital density. A new model of 'site' or urban location for signal transmission will be created, with indoor and outdoor capacity and with technologies such as 'small cells' and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), which will allow improve the service offering and the user experience, explains Óscar Pallarols, director of Innovation and Product Strategy at Cellnex Telecom.

   The expert also stresses that the future could bring a digital ecosystem in the vicinity of telecommunication sites with shared active equipment and data transmission centers for connected mobility in urban areas and intercity routes, etc.

Pallarols and Josep Ventosa, director of the Business Unit Spain, have participated in the round tables of the Telecommunications and Digital Economy Meeting. The event, organized by the Multisectorial Association of Companies of Electronics, Information Technologies, Telecommunications and Digital Content (AMETIC), was held at the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP) of Santander.

Pallarols, who participated in the round table 'Digital Disruption' has illustrated with some examples the qualitative leap that the emergence of mobile broadband has entailed in improving the quality of service to users and in the emergence of new applications based on the availability of broadband networks.

A graphic example of this is in the evolution of the capacity and speed of data transmission, which has led to the fact that, with 3G networks, the download of a 120-minute movie will take up to 26 hours, while with the future 5G, this operation will take, predictably, less than four seconds.

Josep Ventosa, for his part, has focused his intervention on the future of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) and on the long-term strategy for the UHF band. He explained that the cultural and creative industries are an innovative and competitive ecosystem with a great economic weight in Europe and Spain (they represent 6.8% of European GDP and 6.5% of employment, with an ecosystem of about 14 million of SMEs) and that 80% of the contents are financed by broadcasters.

DTT, ready to innovate

In addition, he stressed that DTT is ready to innovate and maintain its competitiveness to remain the basic pillar of the European audiovisual model in the horizon 2030. For this, he stressed that in the near future new technologies and broadcasting standards will meet the demand of higher quality citizens (UHD) and complementary DTT-OTT services (HbbTV), despite a reduction in the spectrum available for DTT due to the second Digital Dividend (700 MHz band).

Ventosa also pointed out that, in order for the new investment cycle to be able to innovate and migrate the existing DTT services of the 700 Band, sufficient time, predictability and regulatory stability must be available to act as an incentive for this new stage of DTT in the horizon 2030.

In this sense, the 'UHF Decision' currently under discussion in the European Council and Parliament, as well as the subsequent Roadmap to be designed by the Spanish Administration, must guarantee DTT the UHF spectrum of the sub700 Band until at least 2030 , design a non-disruptive 700 Band Transition Plan with a 2022 horizon that facilitates technological migration and maintains the current number of multiplexes and establish adequate compensation mechanisms for the costs of forced migration of existing services in the Band 700

The auditor of Dia detected accounting irregularities of more than 95 million in 2017 and 2018 They affect outstanding bill payments and discounts applied to suppliers, while the company "will reinforce controls"   The current leaders of Dia intend to look to the future, and even do not rule out a possible last-minute agreement with the first shareholder of the distribution group, the Russian tycoon Mikhail Fridman (29%) - at least to negotiate better financial conditions with the creditor bank , and even get a credit from the company that shares with other Russian investors and controls those titles - but they will not be able to stop attending to the past either. And her decision to complain to the prosecutor 's accounts of 2017 can bring tail.   That announcement was made on Friday, after presenting the worst results in its history with losses of 352.6 million euros last year, and was the result of an investigation ( report 'forensic' ) commissione...

Mercadona and Lidl grow thanks to the decline of Dia engaged in its worst crisis The supermarket chain drops by 0.7% in 2018 to 7.5% market share, despite "not yet accounted for the negative effects of layoffs", explains the head of retail sector of Kantar Worldpanel Mercadona and Lidl grow thanks to the decline of Dia in the year of its worst crisis. The supermarket chain drops by 0.7% in 2018 to 7.5% market share, despite "not yet accounted for the negative effects of layoffs", explains the head of retail sector of Kantar Worldpanel . The Valencian chain Mercadona remains one more year the undisputed leader for Spanish consumers with a market share of 25%. This means that 1 of every 4 euros spent on mass consumption goes to the firm of Juan Roig, which has strengthened its position especially in fresh products, which account for half of what we Spaniards spend in the shopping cart, according to the figures of the report 'Balance of the Distribution...
