Appendix A: Summary of Proposals
Radio Frequency Identification Devices
Wireless LANs
(refer section 4)
Proposal 4.a
The Ministry invites comment on the anticipated demand for the 915 to 921MHz band by Studio Transmitter Links and Short Range Devices.
In particular comment is invited on the proposal to freeze future licences for STL in this band.
Proposal 4.b
The Ministry invites comment on the assessment of the 2.4GHz spectrum demand.
Of particular interest are indications of the demand for higher power point-to-point systems in this band.
Proposal 4.c
The Ministry invites comment on the implications of a GURL being issued for FWA systems in the band 3650 to 3700MHz. It is acknowledged that once the international position has been clarified there will need to be further consultation before the Ministry takes any action on this band
Proposal 4.d
The Ministry invites comment on the implications of the proposed change in radiated power level from 250mW to 200mW in the 5150 to 5250MHz band.
Proposal 4.e
The Ministry invites comment on the proposal to include the ITU-R Resolution 229 conditions of operation in the band 5250 to 5350MHz band.
Proposal 4.f
The Ministry invites comment on the proposal to permit the operation of wireless LANs in the band 5470 to 5725MHz.
Proposal 4.g
The Ministry proposes to monitor the developments of new FWA and DSRC standards and will review the conditions of use for the band 5725 to 5875MHz band once these are finalised.
Radio Frequency Identification Devices
(refer section 5)
Proposal 5.a
The Ministry proposes not to change the current allocations in the135kHz, 13.56MHz and 433MHz bands as they make sufficient provision for RFID.
Proposal 5.b
The Ministry invites comment on the anticipated growth in the use of the band 860 to 960MHz band for RFID, especially in the international distribution chain markets.
The Ministry also invites comment on the proposal to freeze the availability of mobile licences in the band 868 to 870MHz and STL licences in the band 915 to 921MHz with possible migration out of these bands in the future.
Proposal 5.c
The Ministry proposes not to change the current allocations in the 2400 to 2483.5MHz band as they make sufficient provision for RFID.
Medical Telemetry
(refer section 6)
Proposal 6.a
The Ministry proposes to consider the demand for the operation of biomedical telemetry in the VHF or UHF TV bands and the implications of permitting such devices.
Proposal 6.b
The Ministry proposes the allocation of the 402 to 406MHz band for MICS and other low power medical telemetry in accordance with the ITU-R Recommendation SA.1346.
Proposal 6.c
The Ministry invites comments on the anticipated future use of the current sub-bands within 410 to 470MHz for medical telemetry.
Proposal 6.d
The Ministry invites comment on the anticipated demand for medical telemetry in the frequency bands 608 to 614, 1395 to 1400 and 1429 to 1432MHz allocated in the USA.
Comment is also invited from existing users on the feasibility of sharing these bands with medical telemetry.
Very Low Power Audio Senders
(refer section 7)
Proposal 7.a
The Ministry proposes to permit very low power audio sender devices in the band 88 to 108MHz with a maximum radiated power of 0.02µW.
Audio Video Senders
(refer section 8)
Proposal 8.a
The Ministry proposes to permit the sharing of the band 614 to 646MHz, currently allocated to AV Senders under the SRD GURL, with radio microphones.
Ultra Wideband Applications
(refer section 9)
Proposal 9.a
The Ministry proposes to monitor the developments of spectrum allocation for UWB.
Comment is invited on the future spectrum demand for applications using Ultra Wideband technologies and the implications of permitting allocations similar to those issued by the FCC in USA.
