Section 105(A): Ability To Maintain Proposed Service<br />
<strong>Kismat</strong><br />
Radio<br />
(iii) Describe proposed arrangements for transmission provision.<br />
Transmission<br />
<strong>Ofcom</strong> will be familiar with NTL’s facilities and know the company to be sufficiently well-resourced to install<br />
the complete system and subsequently maintain and monitor the Transmission parameters. Telemetry and<br />
remote monitoring systems provide information back to NTL’s control centre (e.g. Carrier Power, lack of<br />
modulation etc on a 24 hr basis). Maintenance personnel are equipped with the necessary spares and test<br />
equipment to resolve problems swiftly.<br />
There is currently no DAB facility in Manchester available for <strong>Kismat</strong> Radio, however, <strong>Kismat</strong> is committed<br />
to digital transmission at the earliest opportunity.<br />
(iv) What is the anticipated time-lapse between the award of licence and start of broadcasting?<br />
<strong>Kismat</strong> Radio intends to be on-air within 6 months of award of licence.<br />
