Preview / 140 of 280
140 No. 42829 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8 NOVEMBER 2019 For the purposes of this report, it is assumed that stakeholders are aware that IMT specifications provide guidance on: ? the specifications that compliant technologies must meet in terms of data rate and mobility; and ? the spectrum bands targeted by the IMT specifications for the deployment of IMT- compatible technologies The latest IMT specifications are IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced. IMT-2000 defined the capabilities for so-called ‘Third Generation’ (3G) mobile communications technology. IMT-Advanced promises the next generation mobile network with high data rates, seamless connectivity and mobile communication within heterogeneous networks. The rationale for alignment with IMT in South Africa The primary objective of IMT specifications is to provide a basis for harmonisation worldwide and reduce ecosystem fragmentation in several ways: ? In terms of the technological capability, IMT specifications provide a basis for standards development for systems, such as IEEE and 3GPP, to ensure that the technologies meet those requirements. In South Africa, the IMT specifications provide the Authority and the industry with benchmarks regarding the capabilities to be expected from upcoming technologies ? In terms of radio spectrum, IMT specifications provide a predictable basis on which to build a roadmap for the introduction of next-generation technologies. IMT specifications support the Authority in making radio spectrum available in a timely manner for the industry in South Africa. South Africa stands to gain from adhering to a globally harmonised framework in the following areas: ? Economies of scale for standardised products (terminals and network equipment); ? Interoperability in the form of easy roaming and smooth, cross-border co-ordination; ? Predictability and stability for the mobile communications industry; ? Smoother cross-border co-ordination; and ? Easy roaming within the region where harmonisation is implemented It is important to note that the adoption of IMT need not result unconditionally in the displacement of other existing uses of spectrum. In certain cases, radio spectrum sharing with other technologies is feasible. However, it is in South Africa’s interest to adopt IMT specifications fully, wherever Page 74 of 205
