Fabio Leite, Project Manager, IMT-2000
• Radio spectrum identification (RR ARTS5):
total of 750 MHz (806-960 MHz, 1710-1885
MHz, 1885-2025/2110-2200 MHz, 2500-2690
MHz)
• ITU RES212 (Rev. WRC-97):
“administrations which implement IMT-2000
should make necessary frequencies available
for system development; use relevant
international technical characteristics,
as identified by the Recommendations
of the ITU-R and ITU-T.”
- Decision 128/1999/EC:
coordinated introduction of 3G in European
Community - harmonized standards &
spectrum; authorization regimes in place by
1.2000 & introduction of service by 2002.
- Resolution CAATEL-XIII-EX-58 (2000):
coordinated introduction of IMT-2000 in
Andean countries.
- APT IMT-2000 Forum (6.2001) (APTIF): for a
coordinated, harmonized and focused
approach to implement IMT-2000 and
facilitate IMT-2000 service expansion
in the Asia-Pacific region.

Implementation (Geneva, 19-20.10.2000)

Spectrum requirements for future developments
of IMT-2000 & beyond systems
S18.1 § 1 1) No transmitting station may be established or
operated … without a license … .
- exclusive prerogative of national administrations: may establish
establish
specific laws & policies, e.g., exemption of licensing
- operation in derogation of the international Treaty/RR?
- GMPCSGMPCS-MoU:
MoU: “The Signatories will develop arrangements on the means
by which licenses should be granted based on general licenses (e.g. class
approvals). Such arrangements will be drawn up and
licenses or blanket approvals)
include the means by which these general licenses will be mutually
recognized.” & RES25 (Rev. WRC-2000): authorized operation
- license for base stations only
- evolution towards service licence instead of radio station
“Right of users to carry their personal terminals into a
visited country, and the ability to use them wherever
possible”:
• without causing unacceptable interference;
• considering health and safety requirements.
Actions towards an agreed international framework to
facilitate global circulation:
• ITU-R WP8F: Recs. IMT.RCIRC & UNWANT (technical basis)
• Consultation by ITU-SG: on basic principles of no individual
license; no additional terminal certification or type approval;
and customs arrangements.
• Informal consultation meetings: ITU & EC/CITEL/APT.
• IMTEM = IMT “Electronic Mark” (terminal identifier w/
regulatory data to be used only where legally required)
Actions towards an agreed international
framework to facilitate global circulation (cont’d):
• Review of existing mechanisms: e.g.,
European Directive R&TTE (1999/5/EC)
that regulates assessment of conformity
of equipment, rules to avoid interference
in view of terminal circulation, self
certification of conformity by
manufacturers, etc.
