Head, Validation Group, Space Services Division, ITU-R
Session 5: (Implementation of standards (broadband technologies)
Nadi, Fiji, 4-6 July 2011

2. Spectrum planning at national level and adoption of the table of allocations for implementation of technical standards
This session will review the importance of the international table of frequency allocation as an element of national economic development and the impact of  its implementation in enabling the adoption of radio technology standards.
Nadi, Fiji, 4-6 July 2011

3. Principal features of the international table of frequency allocations
Harmonization of frequency allocations for radio services.
Implements world-wide allocations as well as regional.
Some bands allocated to multiple radio services (shared)
Specific country allocations possible by footnote.
Nadi, Fiji, 4-6 July 2011

4. Principal features of the international table of frequency allocations
Changing needs & technology evolution
Review & modifications to the international table of allocations
World and regional adoption
Consideration of national needs for implementation
Incidence in standards adoption
Participation in each one of these processes is subject to the level of development of the country
Nadi, Fiji, 4-6 July 2011

5. Principal features of the international table of frequency allocations
COMPATIBILLITY
INTERCONECTION
INTEROPERABILITY
Effective
ICTs
Participation in each one of these processes is subject to the level of development of the country
Spectrum planning & standardization
Nadi, Fiji, 4-6 July 2011

6. Principal features of the international table of frequency allocations
Example: Spectrum for Short Range Devices
Multiple bands available world-wide, depending on application and range needed.
One principal application is stock tracking.
Harmonized bands needed to support all countries in the supply chain.
Nadi, Fiji, 4-6 July 2011

7. Principal features of the international table of frequency allocations
Example: UHF land mobile equipment
Multiple land mobile bands available world-wide in the UHF spectrum
Several standards available for land mobile: analogue, digital: TETRA, APCO, ETSI and proprietary
Need for national spectrum planning to ensure: - economies of scale
- coexistence (avoid harmful interference)
