Regulatory Summary - Asia March 2013 Regulatory Summary - Asia Korea Submitted to ITU-R WP5D: “Technical feasibility of IMT in the bands above 6 GHz” China 5 GHz Wireless Spectrum Allocation Decision Finalized     The Ministry of Industry & Information Technology (MIIT) has released its finalized decision regarding 5150-5250 and 5250-5350 MHz spectrum allocation.  These two bands will be allocated for public use, while the 'middle' 5 GHz band, 5470 - 5725 MHz will be withheld for the time being. The original announcement can be found on the MIIT website.  We understand that the State Radio Regulatory Committee (SRRC) has begun working on implementation measures and testing methods for these spectrum bands, but the documents have not been released. These technical requirements will eventually be implemented as part of the Radio Type Approval (RTA) license, part of the three-part type approval market access requirements in China.
