An indoor smart antenna compliant with the new CEA-909A spec will be developed by manufacturer Antennas Direct and the NAB, the partners said Friday. Preliminary details on the agreement will be released at the upcoming NAB show in Las Vegas, Antennas Direct said. It was awarded a contract under the NAB’s Flexible Advanced Services for Television and Radio On All Devices program -- or FASTROAD -- to develop the new indoor antenna. Smart antennas optimize reception of HDTV signals on UHF frequencies by internal, electronic steering instead of physical moving elements. The original CEA-909 spec required a dedicated two-way interface between the TV tuner and antenna, using a connector similar in appearance to an telephone RJ-11 plug. The recently-approved CEA-909A standard uses a regular RF cable and connection for communication between the TV and antenna, to automatically optimize gain and antenna pattern for best reception. Several coupon-eligible DTV converter boxes offer CEA-909 operation, but to date no indoor smart antennas have reached the market, although some have been announced. Only one outdoor smart antenna is available so far.

GENEVA -- International talks to change or terminate the International Telecommunication Treaty should keep in mind the “tangible benefits” of the treaty’s regulations, the U.S. told a three-day meeting on the accord. The treaty is critical to reliable flow of international telecom traffic and funds, the U.S. said. Nations agreed in 2006 to review the regulations and gave preliminary approval for a conference, possibly in 2012, to consider treaty revisions (CD Nov 21/06 p6). The regulations, last updated in 1988, sometimes are known as the “Melbourne Agreement” or the “Melbourne Convention.”
