📋 Tender Overview
The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) opened, this Wednesday (11), a public consultation considered strategic for the implementation of TV 3.0 -- the new generation of open TV transmission in Brazil. The initiative deals with updating the technical and operational requirements that will guide the use of the radio frequency spectrum by sound and image broadcasting services in the new technological environment.
The proposal aims to adapt the rules currently in force to the evolution of transmission systems, creating the regulatory bases for the introduction of more modern services, with significant gains in image and sound quality, greater spectral efficiency and potential for offering new resources to viewers.

TV 3.0 represents the next stage of open television in the country, combining digital transmission with advanced features typical of the connected environment. The implementation of TV 3.0 is associated with the use of new frequency bands, between 250 MHz and 322 MHz, in addition to the bands currently used by digital TV systems.
Among the central points of the proposal under consultation are the definition of technical and operational parameters for the operation of stations, criteria for protection against interference and guidelines for the efficient and coordinated use of radio frequencies. The objective is to ensure the transition to TV 3.0, preserving the continuity of services and the quality of reception.
The superintendent of Grants and Provision Resources, Vinicius Caram, stated that the update of the Technical and Operational Requirements represents a structuring step to ensure that the transition to TV 3.0 occurs in an orderly, safe and inclusive manner, preserving universal access to free open television. By defining clear technical criteria for spectrum use, Anatel creates conditions for innovation, efficient network planning and harmonious coexistence between services, he said.
The deadline for sending contributions to the public consultation will be 35 days, during which period broadcasters, manufacturers, sector entities, experts and other interested parties will be able to submit suggestions and technical subsidies through the Participa system. The demonstrations will support the consolidation of the rules that will support the implementation of the new generation of digital terrestrial television in the country.
With the opening of the consultation, Anatel advances in the modernization of the broadcasting regulatory environment and reinforces its role in preparing Brazil for more advanced technological standards, expanding the possibilities of open television in the digital context.
