1.5.4 SPECTRUM RIGHTS

• Agree that spectrum auctions is not appropriate
  at this stage
• Delay in roll-out due to high cost involved in
  Rural Area
• Overhead costs will be channeled to customers

3
2.2.1.4 Universal Mobile Telecom Systems (UMTS)

• 1920 1980 / 2110 2170 MHz FDD
• 1900 1920 2010 2025 MHz TDD
• The Band be reserved for 3 possible Operators

4
2.2.3 / 2.4.6 / 2.5.5 2.50 - 2.69 GHz Band
(See 2.3 table 1 2)

• TN occupies 2582 2592 2656 2666 MHz for
  Breezemax Access in Namibia. Keep as per Licence
  . U/phone [phone]) be replaced with new
  technology with time.
• P lt-gt P links are also deployed in this band for
  Rurtel services.
• Prefer C1 option per 2.5.5 CEPT Region1
• NBC Namdeb to migrate out of band.
• Agree with consultant 4 Licenses.

2.4.1 CDMA 450 Frequency band2.5.1 Proposed
allocation

• Band 450 - 470 MHz is partly utilised by Telecom
  Namibia to provide fixed wireless access
  services. 2 x 5 MHz (452.500 457.500)/(462.500
  467.500).
• Telecom agree as recommended in 2.5.1
  Transnamib and Namwater be migrated out of this
  band.

6
2.4.2 CDMA 850 Frequency Band 2.5.2 Proposed
allocation

• Digital BC Txmitters planned under GE06 plan
  above 790 MHz not be implemented / revised
• BC ST-links above 790 MHz be migrated when needed
  for Mobile services.
• Telecom in agreement with proposal as per 2.5.2
  .3 Especially related to E-GSM band

7
3.3.6 BWA 3400 3600 MHz

• ITU-R F.1488 Annex 1 Figure 1 (25 MHz) blocks
  for all assignments in future.

• XIV 788 798 758 768 ITU BC Reg 1

10
Recommendations

• NCC should follow ITU Recommendations SADC Band
  plan during assignments.
• Same ITU Recommendation be used when Channels are
  assigned - Duplex split between Go and Return
  channels the same. (7GHz)
• Establish committee to assist NCC with WRC
  preparations. DMA, DCA Amateur to be included.
• Existing Radio station licenses has priority.
• Licence fees to cover mntce of the spectrum

11
Questions

• Which spectrum will be exempt from licence fees.
• ISM Unlicensed Band 2.4 - 2.5 5.8 / RLAN 5.2
  / 5.4 GHz What will happen to existing links in
  use?
• Infra red Links.
• Type approval of Radio apparatus.
• 7 GHz Band - ITU-R F.385.8 Annex 3 Figure ?
  Duplex Split ?
• 23 GHZ ITU-R F.637-3 Annex ? Figure ? Duplex
  Split ?
• Frequency Band assigned Can Licensee utilise
  any frequency between start end frequency?
