92 No. 42829 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8 NOVEMBER 2019 Note 1: This column indicates the amount of IMT assignable spectrum; guard bands, centre gaps, etc. are therefore excluded. Note 2: Use of this band will be subject to a feasibility study. Issues to be addressed will include the existing usage, the various channel plan options described in ITU-R M.1036 (section 1) for the band 450-470 MHz, the availability of spectrum in this band, as well as the availability of IMT equipment. Note 3: The World Radiocommunication Conference 2007 (WRC-07) allocated the band 790-862 MHz to all mobile (except aeronautical mobile services) on a primary basis in many countries in ITU Region 1 and designated it for IMT (see 5.316A, 5.316B and 5.317A). WRC-12 resolved to allocate the frequency band 694-790 MHz in ITU Region 1 to the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service on a co-primary basis with other services to which this band is allocated on a primary basis and to identify it for IMT and ensure that the allocation is effective immediately after WRC-15 (see 5.312A and ITU Resolution 232 (WRC-12)). WRC-15 will specify the technical and regulatory conditions applicable to the mobile service after taking into account ITU-R studies. Migration of the broadcasting services from this band has to be addressed in accordance with the Terrestrial Broadcast Frequency Plan 2013 (TBFP-13) as amended in the 2014. The Radio Frequency Spectrum Assignment Plan for DTT Implementation is to be finalised in 2019/2020 financial year. Suitable channel plans for the 700 MHz frequency band for IMT systems have been developed and is contained in Recommendation ITU-R.M1036-5. The channel arrangement are Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) included as 2 x 30 MHz with duplex gap of 25 MHz. Note 4(i): Whereas the Southern African Development Community (SADC), including South Africa, adopted the 2x30 MHz channel plan in the 800 MHz band (A3), this plan is under review considering the adoption at WRC-12 of the 700 MHz band for IMT (see also Note 3 above). Note 4(ii): Although the international 850 MHz band (also known as CDMA-2000 or GSM850 band plan) has 2x25 MHz total bandwidth, the limited assignable spectrum in South Africa is a result of this band overlapping the GSM 900 MHz band and more importantly due to the use of analogue broadcasting in the UHF band. In South Africa, the use of the 800 MHz band will take precedence over the use of the 850 MHz band; no new assignments will therefore be made according to the 850 MHz channel plan. Note 5: Although the band 1885-1900 MHz is also designated for IMT, the band 1880-1900 MHz is used extensively for Digital Enhanced Telecommunications (DECT) cordless telephone systems. Sharing between IMT and DECT cordless telephones is problematic. The band 1900-1920 MHz could be used for IMT in future; it is currently used for Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) systems. Note 6: In South Africa, the 2.3 GHz band is allocated to mobile service on a primary basis and is identified for IMT. This band is part of the 2.4 GHz band (2300-2500 MHz) used for FWA systems. Note 7: The 2.6 GHz band (2500-2690 MHz) is available for IMT in accordance with ITU-R Recommendation M.1036 (C1). This channel plan allows for 2x70 MHz (paired) and 50 MHz (unpaired) spectrum. Note 8: The 3.5 GHz band is currently used for FWA systems in South Africa, in particular WiMAX. The channel configuration is based on 2x100 MHz plan with no guard bands or centre gap (Tx-Rx = 100 MHz). When using this band for IMT systems, a new channelling plan is required. ITU-R Recommendation M.1036 (section 6) recommends two options namely: F1 (unpaired, 3400-3600 MHz); and F2 (3410-3490 MHz paired with 3510-3590 MHz).
