Manatuto, April 4, 2025
The Transmission Team of the Communication and Information Systems Division (D6) of the FALINTIL-FDTL provided specialized technical training on the installation of a radio system and tower antenna, aimed at personnel of the General Support Force (FAG) and the Naval Component (CN). The training was held in the municipality of Manatuto and had the active participation of members of both units, including a woman, who highlighted the institution's commitment to inclusion and gender equality.
The main objective of this training is to train participants in the correct and safe installation of communication systems, with a special focus on the installation of tower antennas, radio connections and signal testing. This type of training is essential to ensure effective communications in field operations and to maintain the operational readiness of the F-FDTL.
During the training, participants received theoretical and practical instructions on the following topics:
Safety procedures for climbing and working on towers;
Assembly and alignment of antennas;
Connection and calibration of radios;
Signal tests and communication coverage checks.
The initiative reflects D6's ongoing commitment to strengthening the technical capabilities of operational units, promoting the updating of knowledge and the standardization of procedures in the area of military communications.
FALINTIL-FDTL continues to invest in the training of its human resources, valuing the active participation of all its members in building a modern, efficient and inclusive force.
Today, March 28, the D6 team visited the Gleno Station to continue collecting data on communication and IT equipment. This work is part of our ongoing initiative to ensure efficient updating and monitoring of technical resources, ensuring that all systems are operational and in compliance with quality and safety standards.
Through this survey, the team will collect detailed information about the equipment in use, aiming to improve the performance, management and maintenance of communication and IT systems, which are essential for the smooth running of operations.
Our mission is to ensure that all workstations are equipped with up-to-date and functional technology, promoting efficiency and productivity. We remain committed to the continuous improvement of our processes and infrastructure.

The Communication and Information Systems Division (D6) began collecting data on the F-FDTL's communication and IT equipment, including radios, computers, projectors and other devices essential for operations.
On the first day of this activity, the team went to the Naval Component, where they verified, recorded and updated information on existing equipment. This survey aims to ensure better management of technological resources, ensuring their availability and functionality to support the F-FDTL's operational and administrative activities.
The survey process will continue in the other units, reinforcing the organization and efficiency in equipment management.

On March 20 and 21, 2025, FALINTIL-FDTL was represented at the International Conference with the theme “Harnessing Digital Transformation to Strengthen Public Services: Promoting Transparency, Efficiency and Effectiveness”. The event was held at the Dili Convention Center (CCD) and organized by the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
The conference brought together government leaders, technology experts, international representatives and members of civil society to discuss crucial topics related to digital transformation, digital economy, emerging technologies, cybersecurity and connectivity infrastructure management.
The FALINTIL-FDTL delegation was composed of:
• Major Joanico C. Belo
• Captain João da Costa
• Second Lieutenant Isac Mendes
These representatives actively participated in the discussions, bringing the perspective of the armed forces on digital security and connectivity.
The following topics were highlighted among the topics covered:
• Cybersecurity: Strategies shared by experts from Australia and Vietnam, essential to protect military systems against cyber threats.
• Connectivity Infrastructure: International experiences on submarine cable management and national connectivity, essential to modernize military communications.
• Emerging Technologies: Artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and cloud computing as strategic tools for defense and security.
FALINTIL-FDTL's participation reflects its commitment to keeping up with global technological transformations and strengthening its operational capabilities. The integration of cybersecurity and emerging technologies will be essential to guarantee national sovereignty and internal security.
The transmission team undergoes radio communication training for operations in remote areas without internet. They simulate emergencies (fires, rescues) using clear voice protocols and standardized codes. Topics include calibrating UHF/VHF frequencies, avoiding interference, and using repeaters to extend range. A practical exercise involves establishing communication between two mountains, testing efficiency in rugged terrain. Common errors, like omitting "over" in transmissions, are corrected. Participants receive certification to operate equipment in critical missions.
