Pham Nhu Hai Head, Broadcasting Services Radiocommunication Bureau TRANSITION TO DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION BROADCASTING, BORDERLINE FREQUENCY COORDINATION AND DIGITAL DIVIDEND Warsaw, Poland 7-9 May 2012 Conclusions of the ITU WRC-12 Pham Nhu Hai Head, Broadcasting Services Radiocommunication Bureau

International Radiotelegraph Convention 1906

WRC-12 33 Agenda Items 165 Member State delegations Major private sector representatives Over 3500 registered participants

Main Issues Mobile broadband including IMT Regulatory Safety Environment Science Navigation and Mobile Satellite

Mobile broadband including IMT

Mobile broadband including IMT Further allocations to facilitate the development of terrestrial mobile broadband applications 800 MHz Band 700 MHz Band WRC-15 Agenda Item

REGULATORY ISSUES

Regulatory Enhancement of the international regulatory framework Considerations of difficulties in Space regulations BSS in 22 GHz Band Impact on spectrum management from SDR, CRS, SRD Use of free space optical links

Enhancement of the international regulatory framework Current framework is adequate Need to review regularly A standing Agenda Item for future conferences

Considerations of difficulties in the space regulations Large number of proposals WRC12 agreed Clearer definition of date of bringing into use – at least 90 days Extension of the suspension period to 3 years Reduce coordination arc (C and Ku bands) Better information of movements of spacecrafts

22 GHz Band Advanced digital satellite broadcasting applications (UHDTV, 3DTV, VIS, LSDI, EHRI) WRC12 agreed Priori planning not necessary Equitable access to be observed under Article 44 of ITU Convention Improved regulatory procedures New FSS allocation with PFD limits

Impact on spectrum management from SDR, CRS, SRD WRC12 decided Not to modify RR The needs of these systems to be addressed in ITU-R Study Groups

Safety issues

Safety and security of services Aeronautical Maritime Radiolocation

Aeronautical Services Spectrum and regulatory actions for safe operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in non-segregated airspace used by civil aviation WRC-12 agreed Worldwide allocation in 5 GHz Band for terrestrial and satellite components

Aeronautical Services (2) The use of L-Band (1.5-16 GHz) by AMSS (in route) Concern that current coordination procedure not transparent and effective WRC-12 agreed Detailed coordination meeting procedure Participation of ITU-BR

Maritime Services To enhance maritime safety systems for ships and ports WRC-12 adopted Satellite detection of AIS onboard ships Worldwide allocations around 156.8 and 162 MHz for search and rescue Worldwide allocation in 500 kHz range for broadcast of safety information

Radiolocation Services New applications using radars for surveillance, tracking and maneuvering spacecraft in VHF Band WRC-12 decided Additional primary allocation in 154-156 MHz subject to regulatory restrictions of 12 coiuntries

Environment issues

Environment Growing importance of the use of ICT in the combat of climate change in the prediction and relief of natural disasters.

Oceanographic Radars 3 to 50 MHz Gather data to WRC-12 agreed mitigate the effect of disasters Understand climate change Safe maritime travel WRC-12 agreed World wide primary and secondary allocations

Lightning Detection Introduction of automated arrival time difference (ATD) Able to detect lightning stroke at thousands of Km from stoke location WRC-12 decided New primary allocation at 8.3 and 11.3 kHz

Meteorological Satellites (MetSat) 7.75-7.85 GHz New generation MetSats Higher data rates and bandwidth WRC-12 decided Extension current allocation to 7.9GHz

Science issues

Space Research Missions Robotic and other missions in transit to or near the Moon 25.5-27 GHz (downlink) Data retrieval Voice/video communication WRC-12 agreed New allocation 22.53-23.25 GHz under condition to protect FS and MS in neighbouring countries

SRS Earth Stations 37-38 GHz Support manned near Earth and deep space missions WRC-12 decided To exclude aeronautical mobile service from this band to protect these space applications

Navigation and mobile satellites

Radiodetermination Satellite Service (RDSS) 2483.5-2500 MHz Interest to provide global services Harmonized regulatory framework New allocation WRC-12 decided to harmonize 2.5GHz band New primary allocation for Region 1 Upgrade RDSS allocation in the same band in Region 3.

Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) Increased use for telephony and data applications Development constrained due to lack of spectrum Difficult to find additional allocation in 4-16 GHz WRC-15 Agenda Item looking at 22-26 GHz

conclusions

WRC-12 A BIG SUCCESS!
