APPENDIX "A" LIST OF ACRONYMS

1. Introduction

1.1 General

This document presents the draft band plan for the future use of the radio spectrum in South Africa between the 3 and 70 gigahertz (GHz) frequency range. The document has been produced by the South African Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (SATRA), with the assistance of IIT Research Institute (IITRI), LCC International and Thethani Universal Technologies, as part of the South African Band Replanning Exercise (SABRE-2).

1.2 Project SABRE

The need for Project SABRE 2 emerged from the requirement to establish a revitalized band plan in the 3 to 70 GHz range, in preparation for various new technologies and services to ensure a more competitive future environment. As a result of this requirement a new migration strategy for this area of the spectrum is also required to move from the existing band plan to the proposed new band plan. A further principle aim of this project is to produce a band plan for the future use of spectrum, which is agreed nationally, consistent with international trends, while maintaining the needs of South Africa.

The principle of the project included:

- a review of the spectrum utilization from 3 to 70 GHz

- the production of a "draft" band plan for presentation to public and private entities for comments and views

The project was broken down into a phased approach:

- Phase 1 - Analysis of current spectrum utilization

- Phase 2 - Identification of future spectrum requirements

- Phase 3 - Examination of International Technology Trends

- Phase 4 - Introduction of a "Draft Band Plan"

- Phase 5 - Refinement of the Band Plan (to be completed)

1.3 Methodology

The primary approach of the Working Group for the SABRE-2 band replanning has been the premise that, involving spectrum users, service providers, and equipment manufacturers a reasonably accurate and cost effective long-term spectrum band plan can be arrived at. Additionally, the following strategies were employed by the Working Group:

"Spectrum Requirements Definition", in that all future national spectrum requirements for all radio services are analyzed.

"Spectrum Availability Using ITU Allotment Plans" were assessed with inputs from SATRA and ITU allotment lists. Current Radio Frequency Authorizations were also assessed.

"Iterative Process" with rapidly changing technology, our aim is to keep the spectrum plan as flexible and open with the ability for modification in the future. The planning process is therefore a continuous process of exploration and data analysis rather than a linear process.

"The Administrative Body" in this case SATRA, was also observed in the following areas:

Detailed strategic policies

Allocation of financial and human resources

Strategic review of procedures

Planning data used as a basis for frequency management

Other Planning Criteria Included:

Regulatory and Legal factors:

ITU allotments

Regional Management bodies

Europe - CEPT

Southern Africa - TRASA

Neighboring administrations and their spectrum usage.

Telecommunications infrastructures

Industrial factors

Economic Factors

User Mobility

Globalization

Overall economic development

Market factors

License fee structure

Social Factors

Changes in demand as a result of changes in the social structure

Security and public safety

Ecological Factors

Electromagnetic pollution

Public dislike of large antenna structures and proliferation of sites

Technical Factors

Basic technologies and equipment components

Coding and modulation techniques

Channel access techniques

Transmission modes such as time, space, frequency diversity and also spread spectrum techniques

1.4 Evaluation

Our evaluation process consisted of inquiries, interaction and analysis of trends both domestic and international. A thorough breakdown of user inputs pertaining to the comment round of the Replanning Exercise was undertaken. In addition, formal and informal meetings were held with both the public and private sector. Finally license trends in South Africa, international trends and technology developments were incorporated into the bandplan.

1.5 TRANSITION TO LONG TERM OBJECTIVES

The process also considered the maximum use of the radio spectrum by various technical and operational methodologies that are known or under development. In addition, the evaluation of current spectrum management processes was and is still under debate to include factors such as user exclusivity, band/block allocations and user fees. However, the transition from spectrum utilization to long-term objectives can only be achieved by the use of advanced spectrum engineering techniques and procedures. At the present time the lack of a comprehensive and centralized database is one of the detriments in the development of an updated long-term spectrum management strategy. The use of effective spectrum utilization can be achieved by the use of advanced engineering techniques to increase frequency re-use, reduce channel bandwidth, improve coding and modulation techniques, improve access strategies and band sharing, without interference and introduce new spectrum sharing criteria

1.6 SPECTRUM FLEXIBILITY

A sound spectrum management program should permit flexibility of strategies and prioritization. The program should allow service flexibility by providing any band, to any service, subject to technical limitations of the frequency band concerned. It should also be technically flexible, allowing a myriad of technologies subject to interference limitations. Finally, it should allow for innovative policies and regulations tied to market forces, flexible enough to change with social, economical and technical needs.

2.0 KEY NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER SABRE 2

The requirement for educational and other broadcasting services, basic telephone services, rapid deployment of wireless local loop and the ever increasing need for safety and security needs have been catalysts for the plan. In addition, deregulation and competition in the Wireless Industry is upon us.

SATRA must take steps to encourage foreign investment while accelerating the Universal Service concept. It is certainly mandatory that for the good of the country, Spectrum Balance is needed that best meets the needs of all national interests without sacrificing one for the other due to financial or political interests.

Government Gazette notices which have been consolidated into the band plan are listed below with outlines of each:

Gazette Number 18883 (30 April 1998):

· To protect current and future developments of FS/FSS throughout the band 10.7 – 11.7 GHz.

Possible Consideration

i) Sharing between Broadcasting Satellite Services(BSS) and the FS/FSS in the bands allocated within Region 1 of the ITU as FS/FSS

ii) Joint Liaison committee to monitor the angle of any potential future broadcasting satellite within this band

iii) Primary allocation to be reserved for FS/FSS in the shared portion of the band

iv) Secondary allocation to be reserved for BSS in the shared portion of the band.

v) To revise band allocation in the 10.7 - 11.7 GHz to indicate sharing in the sub-bands 10.95 - 11.2GHz and 11.45 - 11.7 GHz with consideration of ( i ) – (iv).

Gazette Number 19208 (31 August 1998)

Whereas the entire band (10.7 – 11.7 GHz) is currently exclusively assigned to Telkom in terms of the Registrar of assignment SATRA now intends to change the status of the assignments made to Telkom in two sub-bands within the above band. The Sub-bands concerned are 10.95 – 11.25 GHz and 11.45 – 11.7 GHz.

3.0 Future band Plan

The following table presents the band plan for the future use of the radio spectrum in South Africa between 3 GHz and 70 GHz. The plan represents a target that the country should strive to achieve.

The table is divided into the following columns:

· Region One Band Allocations divided into frequency band into Primary and Secondary Services.

· South African Table of Allocations. The range of frequencies associated with the main allocations (in GHz) once again divided into Primary and Secondary Services.

· Primary Service. This column indicates the main services to which each band is to be allocated. The service types are defined by the ITU, and the allocations are in most cases consistent with the ITU Radio Regulations for Region 1. The service that will have most widespread utilization in the future is listed first and is in capitol letters. However, bands listed as "SHARED" with multiple Primary services listed indicate that both services have equal occupancy rights to the spectrum. Secondary services are listed in lower case letters. Bands which are "RESERVED" for future use are clearly marked.

Limitations of Secondary Services: Secondary services are on a non-interference basis (NIB) to the primary services. Stations of a secondary service:

(a) shall not cause harmful interference to stations of primary services to which frequencies are already assigned or to which frequencies may be assigned or to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date;

(b) cannot claim protection from harmful interference from stations of a primary service to which frequencies are already assigned or may be assigned at a later date;

(c) can claim protection, however, from harmful interference from stations of the same service(s) to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date.

· Application & Footnotes. This column indicates frequency utilization by

applications associated with the primary service. It also indicates applications or systems which should be licensed in a particular band. The footnotes indicate specific channelization plans which are in place or anticipated for a specific band. The footnotes include:

International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR)

Recommendations (e.g. CCIR 852-6)

Federal Communications Commission Codes of Federal Regulations (e.g. FCC Part 15)

ITU Recommendations and Footnotes (e.g. ITU-R F1098 & S5.111)

· Future Requirements. This section contains footnotes relating to a compilation of comments reviewed; contained in Section 4.

· Actions. The action column indicates national or international processes which will affect a certain frequency band. It is also used as a general remarks section.

4 Supporting Notes

4.1 General

This section provides notes to support the future band plan presented in section 3 of this document. The notes relate to those frequency bands where changes may occur. In most cases the notes are concerned with the rationale behind proposed changes, or the strategy for migrating from an exclusive service to a shared band environment.

For convenience the notes are divided by frequency bands from 3 to 70 GHz.

4.2 Fundamental principles

4.2.1 This section describes some principles which have been key to the development of the band plan.

The following are fundamental long term aims of the "draft band plan":

Development of a draft band plan which is technology neutral, allowing spectrum utilization of mixed services based on approved engineering studies and recommendations.

The premise that bulk/band licensing practices by SATRA will eventually be abolished.

Protecting spectrum for sectors such as Government and safety and security concerns.

Increasing the amount of spectrum available for technology which is spectrum efficient.

4.3 Alignment with ITU Region 1

South Africa is part of ITU Region 1, and thus the country has an obligation to base its frequency allocations on those specified for the Region, in the ITU Radio Regulations. Although the document contains existing band plans which have been adopted by the European community and are currently being utilized in South Africa, careful consideration must also be given to other regions.

The band plan reflects great flexibility in adjusting to market or technology factors dependent on channelization plans which will be adopted.

4.4 Migration of frequency bands

Presently, the only forced migration issue deals with the 21.4 - 22.0 GHz bands. This band will revert from Fixed, Mobile and Broadcasting Satellite Services to the Broadcast Satellite Service application in the year 2007. Currently, there are very few licenses in the band according to SATRA records. In fact, the SABRE-2 Working Group has reserved a portion of this spectrum (21.8-22.0 GHz) due to non-utilization. Future migration for the existing few licenses can be accommodated in bands which have been "Reserved" for future use. This will be determined prior to the final band plan being presented.

Other migration issues include the "opening of the 38 GHz band." Prior to a channelization plan being adopted for this portion of the spectrum, it is recommended that a migration of 20-24 GHz Fixed Service assignments be established. The primary criteria for migration would be link distance associated with specific frequency assignments; once the band is released to the public.

Lastly, a common database is required for any future migration strategies. Currently, records are in incompatible formats and incomplete. Frequency authorizations must be developed in a common format to allow proper frequency coordination to avoid harmful interference. In addition, several bulk/band license users have not updated their records for some time, bringing the validity of the data base into question. In some instances, records have not been updated for years.

4.5 Channelization Plans

As noted in the band plan, (Footnotes Section) several channelization plans are in place. Some have been used for years and require a complete update. In order to proceed with this matter, a complete assignment review would be required. This would entail industry to update their records in a timely manner, analyzing assignments, and then adopting or maintaining the current channelization plan. On hand with the working group are complete channelization plans down to and including 2.5 MHz bandwidths plans to complete this endeavor. However, without SATRA's assistance, the working group has no authority to mandate a record update onto spectrum users.
