The ITU Global Wireless Conference has allocated new spectrum for 5G,
in-flight connectivity and satellite broadband, and an agreement was
also reached on opening gigahertz of spectrum to support new wireless
services.
The International Telecom Union's World
Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19), which concluded at Sharm
el-Sheikh, Egypt, last week, decided to modify the international treaty
that governs the use of wireless spectrum and satellite orbital
positions.
The conditions approved for these allocations aligned
with proposals that were approved and submitted by India and also with
what was recommended by the ITU-APT foundation to the government,
according to a ITU-APT statement.
The final treaty at the end of
WRC-19 was signed by 135 government representatives after four weeks for
hectic negotiations that established the regulatory procedures for
deployment of 5G services in 26, 40, 47 and 66 GHz, procedures for earth
stations on aircraft, ships and vehicles as well as spectrum for next
generation of LEO constellations.
WRC-19 took place between October 28 and November 22. The
Indian delegation, led by Member Technology of the Digital
Communications Commission and the Wireless Advisor to the government,
Ministry of Communications, played a crucial role in reaching this
path-breaking outcome.
Under the newly adopted regulatory regime,
5G handsets and infrastructure will need to protect the satellite
observations of Earth by limiting their emissions in 24 GHz band to -29
dB and to -35 after 2027. Similarly, the 5G towers emissions will be
limited to -33 dB and -39 after 2027.
India had proposed a more balanced limit of -35 that balanced the views of both 5G and satellite groups, it said.
The
new limits approved by WRC-19 between -29 dB and -39 dB -- staggered
over 8 years -- provides an innovative approach that satisfies all the
interests at WRC-19 and also prescribed conditions for use of 18/28 GHz
spectrum for Earth Stations in Motion (E-SIM) with suitable provisions
to protect terrestrial 5G and microwave links.
Bharat Bhatia,
President of ITU APT Foundation of India, who participated in this
conference as a member of the Indian delegation, applauded the decision
of the conference and the role played by the Indian team in brokering an
agreement on this difficult issue. Both the industry and the government
worked in unison to support this global agreement on 5G spectrum,
Bhatia said.
ITU-APT Foundation of India (ITU-APT) is a
non-profit, non-political, non-partisan industry foundation registered
as a society under the Societies Registration Act, 1960. The Foundation
has been recognised as an international/regional telecommunications
organisation by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
