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 and MHz spectrum allocation.  These two bands will be allocated for public use, while the 'middle' 5 GHz band, 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.
