82 No. 42829 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8 NOVEMBER 2019 x Government Gazette No 38640 (Notice 273 of 2015) - 791 to 821 MHz and 732 to 762 MHz (Final) x Government Gazette No 38640 (Notice 275 of 2015) - 880 to 915 MHz and 925 to 960 MHz (Final) x Government Gazette No 38640 (Notice 276 of 2015) - 2300 to 2400 MHz (Final) x Government Gazette No 38640 (Notice 277 of 2015) - 2500 to 2570 MHz and 2620 to 2690 MHz (Final) x Government Gazette No 38640 (Notice 278 of 2015 - 3400 to 3600 MHz) (Final) Government Gazette No. 42337 (Notice 165 0f 2019) - 825 to 830 MHz and 870 to 875 MHz (Final) The IMT Roadmap also gives indicative timelines for the deployment of IMT spectrum to support the targets set by the South Africa Connect (SA Connect) broadband initiative for 2016 and 2020 in terms of ensuring widespread area coverage and adequate bandwidth capacity. It is anticipated that additional spectrum for IMT can be assigned in the short term, however this does not obviate the need for using existing spectrum more efficiently and for operators to `densify' their networks. The requirement for IMT2020 spectrum places an additional demand for spectrum and therefore additional IMT Spectrum need to be identified. Such spectrum will have to be investigated with a feasibility study to determine the impact of re-farming, cost of migration, equipment lifetime and the national need for such frequency spectrum. Furthermore, the IMT Roadmap lists options and recommendations for the deployment of bands designated for IMT usage, potential migration scenarios and timelines, as well as assignments with minimum requirements for coverage and capacity obligations for existing and new bands. Previously a total bandwidth of 460 MHz was used for IMT in South Africa, mostly for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System ("UMTS") and Global System for Mobile Communications ("GSM"), with LTE deployment. The IMT Roadmap 2014 envisages that an additional 2x133 MHz paired spectrum and 290 MHz unpaired spectrum will be made available over a given schedule. The most important additional key IMT bands for coverage (especially rural coverage) is the IMT700 and IMT800 bands. Unfortunately, the IMT700 and IMT800 are still not available for use in South Africa. The conditions for the use of the bands for IMT will be specified in the Radio Frequency Spectrum Assignment Plans (RFSAP) to be published for each band. The licensing of IMT frequencies will generally be made through an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in line with regulations 6 and 7 of the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations 2015, as amended. This process will detail the actual mechanism of assignment (including market-based mechanisms, etc.). Page 18 of 205
