WRC-15 BROADBAND PPDR

Public safety agencies need wireless communications to
protect property and help save lives
Existing systems and bands are suitable for Narrow Band
applications
In today’s broadband age, police and other agencies have a
critical need for mobile broadband communications to succeed
in their mission to save lives and property
If all countries work with different frequencies and
technologies, the market becomes fragmented and costs
increase … Harmonizing spectrum and standards is also
essential for enabling multiple agencies to deal with major
incidents together
WRC-15 agenda item 1.3 was to consider the broadband
needs of Public safety agencies around the world (PPDR)
WRC-15 RESOLVED TO
HARMONIZE 694-894 MHZ AS A GLOBAL FREQUENCY
RANGE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY MOBILE BROADBAND
WRC Resolution 646 was modified by WRC-15 to adopt
694-894 MHz as the global frequency range for Public Safety
Mobile Broadband
The original WRC 2003 Resolution 646 already contained the
harmonized ranges for narrow band public safety in VHF, UHF
(400) and parts of 700/800 MHz in Regions II & III
WRC-15 Recognized the continued need of narrow band public
safety wireless and the complimentary role of mobile
broadband
ITU SG5 Developed new report M. 2291 & M. 2377 on PPDR
using IMT/LTE technology and on requirements, objectives,
spectrum calculations & deployment models

NEXT STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTING WRC-15 RESOLUTION ON
PUBLIC SAFETY MOBILE BROADBAND
APT and CEPT are finalizing Regional Recommendations to
contain regional harmonized frequency arrangements that will
be used to update the ITU Recommendation M.2015
ATU is invited to develop a common proposal for Broadband
PPDR or to adopt Arab state or CEPT and contribute to WP5a
and update the ITU Recommendation M.2015 for Region I
ITU to update Report M.2291 on the use of IMT/LTE for public
safety mobile broadband (Broadband PPDR)
ITU to update Report M. 2273 on public safety mobile
broadband (Broadband PPDR) including improving and
potentially split into recommendations on spectrum
requirements and reports on implementation models and
PPDR requirements

Member States should also have the flexibility to use portions of the 700
MHz frequency band in response to specific national needs. Besides
terrestrial wireless broadband electronic communications services, this
could also include use in line with the Union's sectoral spectrum policy
priorities, in particular for PMSE, PPDR and the IoT and with the aim of
ensuring efficient spectrum use.

SCENARIOS for PPDR ARRANGEMNTS
Spectrum needs and deployment models vary, Dedicated, Hybrid or over Commercial MNO.
However, frequency arrangement scenarios for inclusion in Rec. M 2015 necessitate a harmonized
common implementation across Region I to ensure device can be used across in cases of Disaster
Relief and Equipment can be carried across countries.
In preparation of First Post ATU WRC-15 Meeting
ATU is invited to develop a common proposal for Broadband
PPDR or to adopt Arab state or CEPT and contribute to WP5a
and update the ITU Recommendation M.2015 for Region I
Arabs states adopted -25dBm/8MHz for Band 68
ECC Draft Decision requiring -42dBm/8Mhz (-30dBm/8Mhz in
normal conditions)
National Broadband plans to include PPDR frequency
arrangements and to develop governance model if commercial
networks are to be utilized
