1. Spectrum Vision for the Fixed Service Jina MacEachern Spectrum Engineering Branch Industry Canada

2. 3 June 2015TSACC / CCCNT2 Fixed Service Developments New spectrum demands for various terrestrial applications (licensed & licence-exempt) Increase in wireless access and multimedia requirements for the fixed service Fixed service to accommodate ubiquitous deployments and operations

3. 3 June 2015TSACC / CCCNT3 Question ITU-R 221/9 Spectrum Vision for the Fixed Service –What are the spectrum requirements which permit the future evolution of the fixed service? –What methodologies are needed to identify the spectrum requirements? –Regional views are invited; –The results of the above studies should be included in Recommendations or a Report.

4. 3 June 2015TSACC / CCCNT4 Vision – Region 2 Canada is the Region 2 Rapporteur to ITU-R Working Party 9B Coordination through the Inter-American Telecommunications Commission (CITEL) –February 2003 – Region 2 report was developed –April 2003 – Canada to present this report at the next WP 9B meeting

5. 3 June 2015TSACC / CCCNT5 FS Application Trends Convergence in digital communications Boundary between fixed and mobile is becoming less well-defined The role of the fixed service is changing: –Some long-haul, very high capacity radio-relay systems replaced with FOTS –Stronger and growing presence in the access network - broadband, non-line-of-sight

7. 3 June 2015TSACC / CCCNT7 Spectrum Management Trends Licence-exempt spectrum Spectrum licensing vs. apparatus licensing Frequency migration Harmonization of spectrum use Software Defined Radio (SDR)

8. 3 June 2015TSACC / CCCNT8 Summary of Findings A new and greater FS presence in the access network Increasing use of the bands in the 2-11 GHz for FWA/BWA Satisfy backhaul requirements for 3G +, FWA/BWA and others in the 2-18 GHz range Identifying sufficient spectrum below 1 GHz for rural/remote broadband access Greater demand for FWA and LE RLANs as CPE and installation costs are reduced Increasing flexibility in regulations
