  1. WRC-07 Agenda Item 1.4:The Before-and-Aftermath David Hartshorn Secretary General Global VSAT Forum

  2. Request for IMT Spectrum IMT & The Pre-WRC Spectrum Hunt

  3. A key issue is Europe,especially the 2.5GHz Band Wi-MAX Spectrum by Region2005 - 2007 Spectrum Focus NorthAmerica 2.3, 2.5, 3.5, 5.8 GHz 2.3, 2.5, 3.5, 5.8 GHz 2.5, 3.5, 5.8 GHz 2.3, 2.5, 3.7, 5.8 GHz 2.3, 2.5, 3.3, 3.5, 5.8 GHz 3.5, 5.8 GHz Caribbean& LatinAmerica AsiaPacific 2.5, 3.5, 5.8 GHz MiddleEast &Africa Expect future WiMAX deployments in spectrum ~ 700 MHz Source: Wi-MAX Forum Presentation Delivered at 2007 GVF C-band Summit

  4. Is currently being introduced country by country worldwide Was recently considered at ITU WRC-07 Future mobile phone networks (IMT Advanced, 4G, ….) Broadband Wireless Access (BWA), WiMax, FWA, …. 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.1 4.2 4.0 Std. C Etx. C Band commonly used by FSS satellites Additional band (FSS, feederlinks for MSS, …) IMT/Wi-MAX in C-band Downlinks

  5. The Findings • BWA or IMT in a part or all of the FSS C-band downlink will be incompatible with general FSS reception in any part of C-band in the same geographical area • BWA or IMT in a part of C-band may be compatible with FSS reception by a small number of earth stations if: • Appropriate exclusion zones around each of the earth stations are established • User terminals are designed not to emit any signals when not in contact with a base station • Introduction of BWA or IMT by one country can block FSS reception in another country

  6. Why Is SatCom Important in C-band?

  7. Exclusion Zones: A Viable Solution? Example of calculated exclusion zone around an earth station to counter interference from a single IMT base station in each cell (From French study to ITU Working Party 8F (Document WP 8F/868))

  8. . . Impact of protection of earth stations in non-overlapping frequency bands (e.g. BWA in 3.5 GHz and FSS in 3.7-4.2 GHz) 2 km exclusion zones around one earth station at the White House and one earth station at the Pentagon (protection against micro-cell base station used in urban areas)

  9. USE OF 3625 – 4200 MHz BY THE FSS IN BRAZIL • Brazilian Contribution at June CITEL Meeting (OEA/Ser.L/XVII.4.2 • CCP.II-RADIO/doc. 974/06): • No Better Band to Address Rain Attenuation • Exclusion Zones Unworkable in Nations with High-Density Satcom Deployment • Developing Countries Can’t Afford Equipment Changeout Conclusion: 3625-4200 & 4500 – 4800 MHz Should Not Be Considered for IMT

  10. C-Band Earth Stations in Africa (3400-4200 MHz)(Incomplete Count from Intelsat)

  11. Pre-WRC-07: The Global Campaign • Established Consensus: • Globally in Co-ordination with Sister Associations: • Nationally • Regionally • Globally • Out-Reach to Wi-Max Forum, WBU-ISOG, UN, NGOs, DoD • Heightened Awareness: • Newsletters, regional arguementaires • Presence at Trade shows & Summits • Attendance at Critical ITU meetings • Worked with Regional Groups • Tested Wi-Max and Satellite With DoD, SUIRG

  12. At WRC-07: The On-Site Campaign • Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, Briefings • PR Campaign • No-Change Website: www.no-change.info • Dissemination of SUIRG-GVF Wi-Max Test • On-Site Attendance, Coordination • Dissemination of Futron Study • Distribution of Argumentaires

  13. The WRC-07 Outcome: Agenda Item 1.4 • No global identification for IMT, But… • Individual countries can take a different position to the international community and sign up to ‘country footnotes’ that offer… • In Region 1: 3 400 – 3 600 MHz is allocated to mobile services and identified for IMT for some countries • In Region 2: 3 400 – 3 500 MHz is allocated to mobile services • In Region 3: 3 400 – 3 500 MHz is allocated to mobile services and identified for IMT for some countries, as is 3 500 – 3 600 MHz

  14. How C-band Will be ‘Protected’ • Any deployment of IMT services in the C band must fulfil strict criteria laid out in the country footnote: • Careful limits are placed on the power flux density allowed at the border between countries that choose to allow the deployment of IMT services and countries that follow the norm • Existing rules governing sharing between services are reaffirmed to make sure they are applied when necessary - to help protect both existing and future satellite services • There are no future agenda items to revisit this issue in the years to come; case closed…

  15. … With Some ‘Small’ Caveats • WRC-07 Protections Focus on Cross-Border Protections • National-Level Interference Still Major Issue • At WRC-07 only 200 MHz allocated to IMT in C-Band • IMT Sector Wants More… • Americas: Brazil at CITEL PCC.II, Mexico, Colombia, others • Arab Region: Jordan at ATRN • Europe: EC Dismisses Satellite Industry Recommendations • Asia: Australia, India, Mongolia, others • Africa: More Than 50 Wi-MAX Licenses Issued by 2007; Major Interference Being Reported Across Continent • GVF Has Now Launched The ‘Spectrum Security Initiative’
