Electronic Communications Act, 2005 (Act No. 36 of 2005)ICASANotice regarding Final Radio Frequency Spectrum Assignment Plan for the IMT900 Band in terms of Regulation 3 of the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations, 20155. Requirements for the Usage of the Radio Frequency Spectrum |
| 5.1 | This chapter covers the minimum key characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the available frequencies. |
| 5.2 | The use of the IMT900 band is limited to IMT services. |
| 5.3 | Only systems using digital technologies that promote spectral efficiency will be issued with an assignment. Capacity enhancing digital techniques is being rapidly developed together with techniques that promote efficient spectrum use without reducing service quality. These techniques are encouraged. |
| 5.4 | In some cases, a radio system conforming to the requirements of this RFSAP may require modifications if harmful interference is caused to other radio stations or systems. |
| 5.5 | The allocation of spectrum and shared services within this band are found in the NRFP-21 and an extract of the NRFP-21. |
| 5.6 | Maximum radiated power: |
| 5.6.1 | The conservative in-block base station power limit is 61 dBm (5 MHz) EIRP per antenna; |
| 5.6.2 | Mobile Station transmissions should not exceed 23 dBm EIRP; |
| 5.6.3 | On a case-to-case basis, higher EIRP may be permitted if acceptable technical justification is provided; and |
| 5.6.4 | Where appropriate, subscriber terminal stations should comply with the technical specification outlined under the latest version of 3GPP specifications, e.g., TS 36.521-1 for LTE, 38.521-1 for 5G New Radio (NR). |
| 5.7 | ICNIRP Guideline compliance is required, where applicable. |
| 5.8 | Criteria and guidelines for interference mitigation are described in Appendix D. |
