The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) published a public consultation on Fixed Radio Service: Frequency Allocation and Use Regulation for wireless links. CITC seeks to re-allocate all frequency bands used in wireless links (point-to-point and point-to-multipoint), and to update the licensing mechanism of the wireless links in fixed radio service; that is to enhance spectrum efficiency and avoid any harmful interference between users. This public consultation document shows the proposed changes to the frequency channel plans used in wireless links and includes the regulations for bands identified for these services. The consultation is seeking inputs on the proposed regimes of licensing in some spectrum bands including the 28GHz and 80 GHz. CITC believes that the proposed changes will play a valuable role in achieving the optimum frequency usage, reducing congestion of the allocated spectrum bands, enabling new technologies, and satisfying the market needs.
