STAATSKOERANT, 8 NOVEMBER 2019 No. 42829 181 many others there are only one or two, while almost all of the remainder have no more than a few tens of radars operating in the band. Given the small number of radars in most countries, and their use of spectrum at fixed locations, there is a clear opportunity to examine using a portion of the band for mobile services. There is growing interest and support for an IMT identification in the band from various countries in Europe, Africa and Asia. The UK’s interest is especially notable because it is one of the heaviest users of radars in the band worldwide yet believes that the spectrum could be used more efficiently. A GSMA study using real-world data showed that it is possible to relocate all existing radar requirements in the south-east of England, where radars are most densely used, into the 2.8-2.9 GHz portion of the band thus making the 2.7-2.8 GHz part available for mobile broadband. The study even showed there would still be spare capacity in the 2.8-2.9 GHz portion to support more radars in future. In the past, studies have shown that radar services cannot operate alongside mobile without prohibitively large exclusion zones. However, these conclusions are no longer valid as they were based on less spectrum efficient radar technology and use of the same, rather than adjacent, radio channels for both services. There is also a compelling economic argument for allowing mobile services to occupy a portion of the band. Research from Aetha Consulting shows that the estimated financial benefit of using the band for the mobile service in Western Europe would be over 10 times greater than the costs associated with relocating existing radar services. Studies in a wide variety of other show similar economic benefits. 3.3 – 3.6 GHz ITU-RWP5D is currently conducting studies in this band and the following studies are also currently being undertaken for the stipulated bands. This is based on the contributions made by some African Countries as indicated below. 7.4.4.1 CONTRIBUTION BY NIGERIA, SOUTH AFRICA, ZIMBABWE & KENYA TO WP5D ON THE FREQUENCY ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE BAND 3300-3600 MHZ Introduction The band 3300-3400 MHz is allocated to the Mobile, except aeronautical Service, through various footnotes, and is Identified for IMT in forty-five (45) countries. The identification for IMT was made under the condition that such IMT systems shall not cause interference nor claim protection from the then incumbent primary services of the band. The countries that are on the IMT Identification footnotes cut across the three regions of the ITU, with thirty-three (33) of the countries being in Africa (R1), six (6) in the Americas (R2) and six (6) in Asia (R3). Considering the interest expressed by Administrations, across all the three regions, for this band to be used for IMT, based on its ability to provide the needed capacity for the deployment of IMT services, and considering the band’s adjacency to the near-globally harmonised 3400-3600 MHz band, there scope in considering a channelling arrangement for a contiguous band covering the range 3300-3600 MHz.
