Digital broadcasting techno-economic efficiency simulation model between DVB-T and DVB-T2 in Indonesia

This paper shows a model used to calculate the efficiency of migration from analog TV technology to digital TV technology in Indonesia. Analogue television broadcasting in Indonesia uses 470-806 MHz or channel 22-62 and will migrate to digital television terrestrial (DTT) standard in a few years. Two standard had made for the migration, those are DVB-T and DVB-T2. This migration will provide frequency spectrum called digital dividend as DTT allows the television broadcaster to use only about 1/6 spectrum than the analogue [1]. The digital dividend propagation characteristic is very high valuable it has to used optimally in order to generate more benefit to the people, business stakeholders and government. That is why it is very important for us to create a model in order to provide best scenario with best scenario between DVB-T or DVB-T2 which provide greater profit for Indonesia's government.
