STAATSKOERANT, 8 NOVEMBER 2019 No. 42829 139 7 IMT ROADMAP The objective of this section is to provide the long term plan for radio frequency spectrum planning for broadband services in specific bands. First, the Authority describes the importance of aligning with IMT in South Africa. Next, we identify the IMT bands targeted in this radio spectrum roadmap. Lastly, we lay out the proposed roadmap for each of the IMT bands considered. The proposed roadmap for each band is structured to provide useful background information, the options under consideration and, in some cases, the Authority’s proposal for the band. For the 450- 470 MHz and 876-960 MHz bands, the Authority provides additional feasibility studies for the migrations in the band. The IMT framework IMT is the established framework for international alignment of specifications related to mobile technologies. This section presents the IMT specifications used as a basis for the spectrum roadmap and presents the bands considered currently in South Africa. What is IMT? In this section, we provide a formal definition of IMT and focus on the most relevant aspect for the roadmap: frequency bands. According to the ITU, IMT systems are “mobile systems that provide access to a wide range of telecommunication services including advanced mobile services, supported by mobile and fixed networks, which are increasingly packet-based.” Further, the ITU states that the key features of “IMT-compliant” technologies include: ? a high degree of commonality of functionality worldwide while retaining the flexibility to support a wide range of services and applications in a cost-efficient manner; ? compatibility of services within IMT and with fixed networks; ? capability of interworking with other radio access systems; ? high-quality, mobile services; ? user equipment suitable for worldwide use; ? user-friendly applications, services and equipment; ? worldwide roaming capability; and ? enhanced peak data rates to support advanced services and applications.
