The design of a convergent network confronts producers with complex tasks. Particularly in the case of the upcoming mobile TV services, the basic broadcast network normally demands relatively high investment costs. A thorough network design is therefore necessary for producing a sustainable business model. This is the conclusion of a current study by the bmco forum (“Mobile Broadcast Technologies – Network Design Issues”).

Network planning, antenna locations and engineering are decisive components of network design. In addition, other factors which are not technical in nature play an important role and have to be taken into account to ensure a successful service.
