Haiti - Telecommunication : Review  of the first year of the Director General of CONATEL
One year since taking office as Director General of the Executive Body of the National Telecommunications Council (CONATEL), Engineer Joses Jean Baptiste, presents a review of his achievements during his first 12 months

Institutional Strengthening :
Automated management of the radio spectrum:
Today, thanks to the efforts made, the Technical Department has automated radio spectrum management software. Cooperation with the International Telecommunications Union (UTI) also allowed CONATEL to benefit from a study on the economic revaluation of the radio spectrum.

Training of provincial office inspectors :
Inspectors from decentralized offices in the Great North have received technical-administrative training to improve their efficiency in the exercise of their functions.

Fight against aeronautical interference :
CONATEL seized broadcasting stations causing interference to aeronautical communications. Cooperation with the National Civil Aviation Office (OFNAC) on this subject has been relaunched.

SIM card buyer identification platform :
A platform allowing the registration, identification and authentication of SIM card users using their identification card will be set up. The specifications for this platform as well as the tender document to recruit this firm are in the finalization phase.

Regulation of Social Networks :
A Commission made up of lawyers and technicians from the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Broadcasting is working on a proposal for regulation of Social Networks.

Traffic control :
The volume of data traffic on telecommunications networks continues to grow to the detriment of voice traffic. Consequently, income taxation models based on the declaration of voice traffic pose a double question. Traffic control and the opportunity to find another data taxation model constitute a new project. A unit has been set up at CONATEL to work on this problem.

Radio Amateur Training :
CONATEL and the Radio Club Amateur (RCH) have signed a memorandum of understanding to train new radio amateurs for the country. This training resulted in the certification of around ten CONATEL engineers and executives on September 27, 2023. The process of reciprocity of Amateur Radio licenses with European Regulators is underway.

Digital economy :
Migration to digital television:
One of the priority projects is the transition from analogue terrestrial television to digital terrestrial television. Today, CONATEL is making progress in achieving these objectives. The agreement for the establishment of 2 digital television platforms is about to be finalized. Mobile telephone operators and media associations are participating in this work.

Phase 2 of TNH’s Migration to Digital :
Haitian National Television (TNH) is already working on the launch of phase 2 of the TNH digital transition project (ch.10). More services will be offered from this digital platform.

Digital transformation :
CONATEL and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP - Haiti) organized, in Port-au-Prince, on September 22, 2023, a workshop on the theme "Digital Transformation as a catalyst for development". The goal of this project is to prepare with the white paper of the Digital Economy of Haiti a strategy document in which the Vision of the State in terms of ICT is set.

Electronic signature :
This project has also been relaunched. The process of implementing the electronic signature provided for in the Decree of January 29, 2016 has just reached an important milestone. Haiti has formally requested from UIT the registration of the Object Identifiers Registration Authority (OID) in order to make electronic signature operational in Haiti. At the same time, CONATEL is working on a text implementing electronic signature for submission to the Government. After its adoption, calls for tenders will be launched to recruit firms capable of providing this service.

Cybersecurity :
A CONATEL - Haitian Institute of Statistics and Informatics (IHSI) working group was created in July 2023 to work on Electronic Signature, Cybersecurity and Electronic Commerce files.

International Cooperation :
"Haiti Digital Acceleration Project" (HDAP):
CONATEL received two batches of radio spectrum and quality of service control equipment on December 22, 2023 from the World Bank within the framework of the HDAP project. This equipment is valued at 2.8 million US dollars.

Assessment of the Resilience of Telecommunications Networks and Infrastructure :
On August 10, 2023, together with the ITU, CONATEL organized a restitution workshop on the assessment of the resilience of telecommunications networks and infrastructures in Haiti. This study was commissioned by the ITU.
