Procedure of eliminating the potential interference to DVB-T receivers defined in cooperation with operators (DVB-T and mobile) HAKOM finances the filters for users, other interferences are in the responsibility of the mobile operators Currently there is around 80 LTE800 base stations in operation No reported interferences up till now – no big investments, base stations mostly in rural areas In next year cases of base stations in urban areas are expected – potential interference
