Footnotes

  • 5.516B   The following bands are identified for use by high-density applications in the fixed-satellite service:

    17.3-17.7 GHz (space-to-Earth) in Region 1,
    18.3-19.3 GHz (space-to-Earth) in Region 2,
    19.7-20.2 GHz (space-to-Earth) in all Regions,
    39.5-40 GHz (space-to-Earth) in Region 1,
    40-40.5 GHz (space-to-Earth) in all Regions,
    40.5-42 GHz (space-to-Earth) in Region 2,
    47.5-47.9 GHz (space-to-Earth) in Region 1,
    48.2-48.54 GHz (space-to-Earth) in Region 1,
    49.44-50.2 GHz (space-to-Earth) in Region 1,

    and

    27.5-27.82 GHz (Earth-to-space) in Region 1,
    28.35-28.45 GHz (Earth-to-space) in Region 2,
    28.45-28.94 GHz (Earth-to-space) in all Regions,
    28.94-29.1 GHz (Earth-to-space) in Region 2 and 3,
    29.25-29.46 GHz (Earth-to-space) in Region 2,
    29.46-30 GHz (Earth-to-space) in all Regions,
    48.2-50.2 GHz (Earth-to-space) in Region 2.

    This identification does not preclude the use of these frequency bands by other fixed-satellite service applications or by other services to which these frequency bands are allocated on a co-primary basis and does not establish priority in these Radio Regulations among users of the frequency bands. Administrations should take this into account when considering regulatory provisions in relation to these frequency bands. See Resolution 143 (Rev.WRC 19). (WRC-19)

  • 5.547   The bands 31.8-33.4 GHz, 37-40 GHz, 40.5-43.5 GHz, 51.4-52.6 GHz, 55.78-59 GHz and 64-66 GHz are available for high-density applications in the fixed service (see Resolution 75 (WRC-2000)*). Administrations should take this into account when considering regulatory provisions in relation to these bands. Because of the potential deployment of high-density applications in the fixed-satellite service in the bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40.5-42 GHz (see No. 5.516B), administrations should further take into account potential constraints to high-density applications in the fixed service, as appropriate. *This resolution was revised by WRC-12. (WRC 07)

  • 5.550B   The frequency band 37-43.5 GHz, or portions thereof, is identified for use by administrations wishing to implement the terrestrial component of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT). This identification does not preclude the use of this frequency band by any application of the services to which it is allocated and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations. Because of the potential deployment of FSS earth stations within the frequency range 37.5-42.5 GHz and high-density applications in the fixed-satellite service in the frequency bands 39.5-40 GHz in Region 1, 40-40.5 GHz in all Regions and 40.5-42 GHz in Region 2 (see No. 5.516B), administrations should further take into account potential constraints to IMT in these frequency bands, as appropriate. Resolution 243 (WRC 19) applies. (WRC 19)

  • 5.550C   The use of the frequency bands 37.5-39.5 GHz (space-to-Earth), 39.5-42.5 GHz (space to Earth), 47.2-50.2 GHz (Earth-to-space) and 50.4-51.4 GHz (Earth-to-space) by a non-geostationary satellite system in the fixed-satellite service is subject to the application of the provisions of No. 9.12 for coordination with other non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service but not with non-geostationary-satellite systems in other services. Resolution 770 (WRC 19) shall also apply, and No. 22.2 shall continue to apply. (WRC 19)

  • 5.550E   The use of the frequency bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40-40.5 GHz by non-geostationary-satellite systems in the mobile-satellite service (space-to-Earth) and by non geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) is subject to the application of the provisions of No. 9.12 for coordination with other non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite and mobile-satellite services but not with non-geostationary-satellite systems in other services. No. 22.2 shall continue to apply for non geostationary-satellite-systems. (WRC-19)

  • G117   In the bands 7.25-7.75 GHz, 7.9-8.4 GHz, 17.375-17.475 GHz, 17.6-21.2 GHz, 30-31 GHz, 33-36 GHz, 39.5-41 GHz, 43.5-45.5 GHz and 50.4-51.4 GHz, the Federal fixed-satellite and mobile-satellite services are limited to military systems.

  • NG63  In the band 37.5-40 GHz, earth station operations in the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) shall not claim protection from stations in the fixed and mobile services, except where individually licensed earth stations are authorized pursuant to 47 CFR § 25.136.

  • NG175  In the band 38.6-40 GHz, television pickup stations that were authorized on or before April 16, 2003, may continue to operate on a secondary basis to stations operating in accordance with the Table of Frequency Allocations.

  • US382   In the band 39.5-40 GHz, Federal earth stations in the mobile-satellite service (space-to-Earth) shall not claim protection from non-Federal stations in the fixed and mobile services. ITU Radio Regulation No. 5.43A does not apply.
