A section of the TV broadcast frequency spectrum has been re-allocated for mobile devices. ‘Fourth Generation’ devices such as mobile phone operators may cause disruption to TV services where the transmissions are found close to existing TV broadcasts. The problem is commonly resolved by insertion of a filter provided by at800 – the organisation charged with resolving interference issues. Further information can be found on
www.at800.tv or in the ‘
Downloads’ section - members must be logged into view.
This is a template document and certification providing landlords and housing managers with a maintenance plan that avoids disruptive, costly refurbishments in years ahead. Broadcasting is the fastest changing industry of all. By timetabling regular service intervals on a system, CAI installers can identify any work required to maintain an up-to-date, safe and functional signal network. Specifically, communal buildings such as apartments, residential care homes, communal housing projects, offices and other multi-roomed facilities. A reasonable regular payment maintenance plan can be agreed under the scheme.
The CAI has a number of approved training providers in the UK who have been assessed, to ensure the centre and course syllabus meets the CAI standards and guidelines. Our approved training centres can be found on the '
