Support introduction of EESS/SRS in the band 9300-9500 MHz subject to not causing harmful interference or claim protection from the radionavigation service No information available No information available Does NOT support any element of the ICAO position with regard to the need to secure protection of the (aeronautical) radionavigation services Supports all elements of the ICAO position (except deletion of 5.476) The proposed upgrading of the radiolocation service does NOT include a footnote for the protection of the aeronautical radionavigation service Supports introduction of EESS in the band 9300-9500 (Method B1 in CPM Report). Method B1 includes a footnote for the protection of the radionavigation service in the band 9300-9500 MHz Proposes an upgrade of the Radiolocation service without a footnote protecting the (eraonautical) radionavigation services) USA Russian federation Yes No (partial) IMO Yes Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania Cote d’Ivoire Egypt Mali Yes Proposes an allocation to EESS/SRS with regulatory protection to the (aeronautical) radionavigation services. In accordance with Resolution 747 (WRC-03) consider the upgrading of the radiolocation service to primary allocation status in the bands 9000 – 9200 MHz and 9300 – 9500 MHz and extending by up to 200 MHz the existing primary allocations to the Earth exploration-satellite service (active) and the space research (active) in the band 9500 – 9800 MHz without placing undue constraints to the service which the bands are allocated Supports all elements of the ICAO position (except deletion of 5.476) The proposed upgrading of the radiolocation service does NOT include a footnote for the protection of the aeronautical radionavigation service Supports introduction of EESS in the band 9300-9500 with a footnote for the protection of the radionavigation service in the band 9300-9500 MHz Concurs with ICAO position with regard to the need for a footnote securing protection of the radionavigation service when upgrading the radiolocation service; no material regarding the upgrading of EESS/SRS.

WRC – 03) No sharing of the mobile service (e.g. for IMT – 2000 and beyond) in aeronautical frequency bands listed. In general ICAO does not support the shared use of spectrum between aeronautical safety services and other non aeronautical services, without relevant studies having been completed that support sharing. All the frequency bands used for aeronautical safety services are already heavily used or planned to be used and do not allow for sharing. Compressing aeronautical assignments into a smaller sub-band is considered not feasible. APT does not support the identification of any parts of the bands 410 – 430 MHz and 2700 – 2900 MHz for IMT-2000. APT supports that 450 – 470 MHz, 2300 – 2400 MHz should be identified and Method 1A under Agenda Item 1.4 could be applied APT does not support the identification of any parts of the bands 3400 – 4200 MHz and 4400 – 4900 MHz for IMT-2000. APT supports identification of the bands 1518 – 1525 and 1668 – 1675 MHz in the satellite component for IMT-2000 Yes Yes No agreement on this item No information available No change to the allocations in the band 2700-2900 MHz No change to the allocations in the band 2700-2900 MHz No information available No position on the band 2700-2900 MHz for IMT-2000 Yes No change to the allocations in the band 2700-2900 MHz Yes Yes Yes No proposals for using the band 2700-2900 MHz for IMT Objections for using the band 2700-2900 MHz for IMT No change to the allocations in the band 2700-2900 MHz Nigeria Senegal Mali Agenda item 1.5 ICAO position No No Yes Supports an allocation for IMT-2000 in the band 2700-2900 MHz. Supports an allocation for IMT-2000 in the band 2700-2900 MHz. Does not support an allocation for IMT-2000 in the C-band Support To consider spectrum requirements and possible additional spectrum to allocation for aeronautical telecommand and high-bit rate aeronautical ICAO telemetry, in accordance with Resolution 230 (WRC – 03) position To support the allocation of suitable spectrum for non-safety related aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand systems and applications in the band between 3 – 30 GHz and these allocations made for mobile or aeronautical mobile service, should in principle not be made in bands currently allocated to the aeronautical mobile (R) service, aeronautical radionavigation service or their satellite equivalent. If allocations are made to such bands, and in particular in frequency band 5091 – 5150 MHz, regulatory priority shall be given to these aeronautical safety services. No change to the current allocation in the band 5030 – 5091 MHz (may be a part of 5091 – 5150 MHz band also) since this band is required to satisfy the requirements of aeronautical radionavigation service (MLS). APT Yes (partial) To support the continued use and protection of frequency bands currently allocated for aeronautical telemetry applications. . No support to an MS allocation 4400 – 4940 MHz and 5926 – 6700 MHz that can be used for AMT for flight testing. No not support to new AMS allocation for AMT for flight testing in the band 5030 – 5091 MHz. Support the addition of footnotes in RR for an allocation to the mobile service, limited to AMS, in the band 5091 – 5150 MHz for aeronautical mobile telemetry for flight testing under the condition if an allocation of AM (R)S is made in the same band then AM(R)S allocation shall take precedence over aeronautical mobile telemetry. ASMG (ARB) ATU CEPT CITEL Agenda item 1.5 RCC USA Russian federation IMO Keep 5.444 for the band 5030 – 5150 MHz which is required to satisfy requirements for MLS; requirements for MLS shall take precedence over other uses of this band. No information available No information available No No change to the allocations to the band 5030-5091 MH; the allocation for AMT is generic. This is in line with the ICAO position Not in line with the ICAO position are proposals from Europe for no protection to MLS in the band 5091-5150 MHz. This may adversely affect MLS requirements in this band AMT in the band 5030-5250 MHz but limited to flight testing No precedence for MLS in the band 5091-5150 MHz relative to the Fixed Satellite Service No protection for MLS requirements in the band 5091-5150 MHz that cannot be satisfied in the band 5030-5091 MHz. No information on specific proposals available. No UAS requirements can be addressed under agenda item 1.5.

Yes Supports no change to the band 5030-5091 MHz. Allocations for AMT (partial) applications are proposed to be made only for flight testing. Frequency bands proposed for AMT: 4400-4940MHz; 5925-6700 MHz and 5091-5150 MHz. No protection or priority through a footnote is given to the AM(R)S (Re. Agenda Item 1.6) or the FSS. Through NOC of 5.444 protection to MLS is secured. This would required WRC-07 to not accept any change to 5.444. No information available Yes Concurs with ICAO position with regard to the need for a footnote securing protection of the radionavigation service when upgrading the radiolocation service; no material regarding the upgrading of EESS/SRS. Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania Cameroon Yes No information available Yes Senegal Yes Egypt Yes Mali Yes Supports ICAO position with respect to protect the band 5030-5091 MHz for MLS, allocate spectrum for AMT under an allocation to the mobile service and continue to protect existing allocations for AMT. No restrictions on use of AMT. Support an allocation for the aeronautical mobile service only in the band 5150-5250 MHz. Support an allocation for the aeronautical mobile service in the band 50915150 MHz for AMT. (Method C2b in CPM report).

No change to priority allocation in the band 5030 – 5150 MHz for MLS To support protection of RNSS in the band 5000 – 5010 MHz and 5010 – 5030 MHz and protection for FSS in the band 5091 – 5150 MHz. No change in allocation in the band 108 – 112MHz and 328.6 – 335.4 MHz. To support removal of the current limitations on AM(R)S in the band 112 – 117.975 MHz Resolution 415: To support appropriate regulatory measure which recognize that VSAT networks operating in the fixed satellite service can also be used for aeronautical safety applications. This includes provisions for the necessary priorities for aeronautical telecommunications when aeronautical VSAT networks are also being used to provide non-aeronautical telecommunications. APT Yes (partial) No change to the current allocations in the band 108 – 112 MHz; Support an allocation to AM(R)S in the band 112 – 117.975 MHz.
