80    No. 42829             GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8 NOVEMBER 2019

The Mobile Industry expressed their requirements regarding the availability of IMT2020 spectrum
                   for testing and implementation in South Africa in  the submissions received on the Draft IMT
                   Roadmap 2018 consultation process.

As indicated above Recommendation ITU-R M.2083-0 describes the IMT2020 Vision. This is the
                   Framework and overall objectives of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond. South
                   Africa needs to align with the IMT2020 Vison and form part of the working groups performing
                   studies into  the recommendations and studies that  feeds  into  World Radiocommunication
                   Conference, 2019 ("WRC-19"). A copy of   REC. ITU-R M.2083-0 is included in Appendix H.
                   Future Agenda Items on Spectrum Requirements For IMT In Accordance
                   With Resolution 238 (WRC-15)

The following bands, which are already allocated to mobile, are being studied by the ITU for possible
                   IMT-2020 identification by WRC-19:

x   24.25 - 27.5 GHz

x   37 - 40.5 GHz

x   42.5 - 43.5 GHz
                      x   45.5 - 47 GHz
                      x   47.2 - 50.2 GHz

x   50.4 - 52.6 GHz

x   66 - 76 GHz
                      x   81 - 86 GHz

The following bands will also be  studied, although they do not  currently have global mobile
                   allocations:

x   31.8 - 33.4 GHz

x   40.5 - 42.5 GHz

x   47 - 47.2 GHz

Which services and applications will IMT2020 support?

IMT 2020 Vision, in Recommendation ITU-R.M.2083, indicates that  IMT2020 technologies are
                   under development, and  are likely to  include both an evolution of  existing and new  radio
