1 Latvian experience on Broadband Mapping and Mobile Broadband QoS aspects Elmars Lipenbergs Head of Quality of Service division, Electronic Communications and Post Department, Public Utilities Commission of Latvia - SPRK ITU-EC Regional Conference for Europe in Partnership with the Office of Electronic Communications of Republic of Poland - Broadband Services and Infrastructure Mapping, April 2016, Warsaw, Poland

2 Topics of the presentation Infrastructure mapping Mobile broadband service mapping Mobile broadband Quality of Service 2

3 Broadband development strategies Digital Agenda targets: the aims of the EU being covered nationwide by broadband above 30 Mbps by 2020 and 50% of the EU to be subscribed to broadband above 100 Mbps by

4 Infrastructure mapping Local Authorities and Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Latvia are responsible for the data collection process and date base of physical infrastructure for all networks operators data support. This database meets the requirements of the Directive 2007/2/EC establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE). There are map fragments (geo data vector format) in this data base but it is not possible to have a common map for all the country. 4

5 Infrastructure mapping The Ministry of Transport is responsible for the detailed infrastructure mapping that includes information on the optical network infrastructure, according to the order of the Cabinet about the NGA network development concept from 2013 to Ministry of Transport during 2016 has to prepare amendments to the Electronic Communications Act, which provides requirements for an optical network infrastructure database and mapping. 5

6 Middle-mile project implementation State aid project (Middle-mile) was supported by the EU and Government (since 2012) Main objective to facilitate provision of high-speed broadband optical networks in rural areas. Construction of middle mile in remote areas up to municipalities where is the access point. Infrastructure is offered for local ISPs. Open access enables competition in the last mile which means that the local ISPs should roll-out optical fiber from the access point till subscribers. The project is deemed also for mobile operators (to connect base stations). Cost-oriented and non-discriminatory access. 6

7 Broadband developing in rural areas High-speed broadband optical networks developing in rural areas for the NGN services START of the middle-mile project 1st stage START of the 2nd stage of 177 access points broadband 1800 km optical networks cable developing add >200 access points 7

8 Map for broadband network 1st stage development 8

9 Broadband service mapping Fixed network operators mapping takes place individually and the results are not published in common place, but to inform the public are used other methods, for example, operators informs about the availability of infrastructure and services of an interested party by individual request. Mobile network operators service coverage maps are available online:
